Final Hunger Games film topples Bond’s SPECTRE but fails to match previous openings
The last of the Hunger Games movies failed to reach the heights of its last opening weekend against tougher competition, but still raked in more than $9m at the box office over the weekend.
Jennifer Lawrence film The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 managed $9.832m on 624 screens, toppling last week’s number one SPECTRE, which managed $5.484m on 599 screens.
Mockingjay Part 1 took $11.88m on 574 screens this time last year, while the second film Catching Fire took $12.4m on 580 screens in November 2013, while the first film took $9m on release in March 2012.
James Bond film SPECTRE has now grossed $20.69m, while Aussie film The Dressmaker hung in in third place taking $1.237m on 306 screens, grossing $13.7m so far.
Matt Damon’s The Martian is the highest grossing film in the top ten with its taking of $260,000 taking it over the $26m mark.
US thriller Secrets in Their Eyes was the highest new entrant with $598,196 on 184 screens putting it in fourth place.
