‘Hunger Games’ Finale Tops Box Office

MockinglyKatniss Everdeen’s last stand at the box office saw The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 opening to a franchise-low $101 million in North America for a worldwide bow of $247 million.

While that’s a hefty start for Lionsgate, Mockingjay 2 came in behind expectations even on a global basis. The $160 million tentpole, starring Jennifer Lawrence, had hoped to beat the $274.9 million worldwide start of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1 on the same weekend a year ago, considering it had the advantage of rolling out day-and-date in 87 markets, including China, where it underperformed over the weekend with $16.4 million (that compares to $21.9 million for Mockingjay 1).

The top 12 films of the weekend, as of Sunday, November 22, are as follows:
