One of the biggest film sagas of all-time came to an epic conclusion over the weekend – as the Jennifer Lawrence-led sequel, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2, vigorously dominated the box office.
With a thunderous debut of $101 million, Mockingjay – Part 2 put an exclamation point on a masterful (and lucrative) film series. Jennifer Lawrence reprised her role as Katniss Everdeen for what could potentially be the final time (though there are prequels and sequels rumored for the future), but not everything about the hefty debut is worth celebrating. The $101 million domestic return is well below the opening posted by each one of the previous Hunger Games installments, including Mockingjay – Part 1, which post a $121.8 million opening
