"Mockingjay — Part 2" Did Not Go Out With A Bang At The Box Office

But that’s just par for the course for movie franchises — unless you’re Harry Potter.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 opened with an estimated $101 million in North America this weekend, and $146 million internationally.

Mockingjay – Part 2 was the top-earning film in the U.S., the U.K. (with $17.1 million), China (with $16.4 million), Germany (with $14.4 million), Mexico (with $8.7 million), France (with $7.1 million), Australia (with $6.8 million), Brazil (with $6.8 million), and Russia (with $6.7 million).

But as the concluding film in the Hunger Games franchise, Mockingjay – Part 2 brought in the lowest domestic opening weekend at the box office for the four-film series.

Worldwide, Mockingjay – Part 2 performed a bit better, exceeding the $138.2 million international debut for 2013's Catching Fire, but coming under that of 2014's Mockingjay – Part 1, the franchise record, with $152 million.

Still, Mockingjay – Part 2's debut is certainly a disappointment. Both 2012's The Hunger Games and 2013's Catching Fire each opened with more than $150 million domestically, en route to box office totals of more than $400 million in North America. Mockingjay – Part 1, however, pulled in $109 million less worldwide than Catching Fire, and Mockingjay – Part 2 looks to continue that downward trend.
