Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part – 2 Earns $101 Millions, the Lowest in the

“Mockingjay, Part 2” raked in $101 million in ticket sales in its opening weekend in the United States and Canada, according to ticket sales tracker Exhibitor Relations.

Mockingjay Part 1 became only the 33 movie ever to have a $100 million opening, but had the worst opening of the franchise.

The first installment collected $152.5 million domestically in 2012 in the opening weekend while its sequel The Hunger Games: Catching Fire collected $158.1 million during the first weekend in 2013.

In Australia, it was easily the biggest movie in cinemas, taking $9.8 million for a solid average of $15,700 per cinema.

In the third spot is the Taiwanese romance Our Times, which earned $12 million followed by the South Korean thriller Inside Men, which took $10.2 million.

Jurassic World took $16 million, The Avengers: Age Of Ultron $15.7 million, Fast and Furious 7 $14.6 million, Spectre $11.3 million and Fifty Shades of Grey $10.4 million.

Despite the lack of any more source material, the studio is reportedly trying hard to continue the franchise and keep raking in all that box office money. Though the book upon which the two Mockingjay films were based is also considered the weakest of the young adult trilogy.

How much did previous The Hunger Games movies make at the time of their openings?

Hunger Games: Mockingjay 2 generally performed below expectations. The R-rated film cost about US$25 million to produce.

But total sales for the movie’s debut are the lowest of the four-film “Hunger Games” series.

“We’re really pleased with it”, said Erik Lomis, the studio’s theatrical distribution president.

The film also brought in 146 million dollars (£96.3 million) at the worldwide box office over the weekend.

The new movies “The Night Before” (a comedy starring Seth Rogen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Anthony Mackie) and the drama “The Secret in Their Eyes” (it stars Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman, and Chiwetel Ejiofor) opened in fourth and fifth, respectively. However, it’s all but inevitable that the new “Star Wars” film will topple “Mockingjay” in mid-December if it can hang on that long.
