‘Mockingjay Part 2’ premiere scaled back after Paris attacks
This means that main stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Elizabeth Banks and others will head to the screening in Los Angeles after taking photos and taking signatures or selfies with the fans.

“Further, we stand with the people of Paris and our thoughts go out to all those affected by these awful events”.
