‘Mockingjay’ Hits $500 Million at Global Box Office

Variety:
Lionsgate's “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1″ has cleared the $500 million mark at the worldwide box office in two weeks of release.

The domestic box office has hit $233.8 million as of Wednesday and the international box office has reached $271 million.

“Mockingjay” is the 128th film to gross at least $500 million worldwide. It’s also the seventh highest U.S. grosser this year and trails the top 2014 release, Disney-Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” by less than $100 million.

The Jennifer Lawrence tentpole is also more than halfway to matching the domestic total of $425 million for “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.”

That's great, glad to see it's doing so good. Because of my being out of town and it being so hectic I didn't get to go see it. I am still waiting for the chance to go.

I am yet to even see the second. The first was alright but it didn't have any real big moments. Seemed like Katniss and Peeta just fell in love over pretty much nothing. I heard the second was better, but I'm a little skeptical.

After reading the books, I had to see the movies. The books were so filled with details and action. I loved them so I thought they did pretty good on the movies considering how much they have to leave out. They can't possibly put everything in a movie that's in the book but they covered what was important.

Maybe they should've made a TV show?

Catching Fire was alright, a step up from the first, and Mockingjay's a bit better than either. At this rate, it seems like they're still trying to perfect the love triangle they've struggled with this whole series, the same one that's thrown a wrench into oh, I dunno, the socio-political commentary that Susanne Collins intended in my view.

Wonder if Part II could be a billion dollar maker at this rate. The casting's alright and the effects are above average, but nothing I've ever understood on the basis of the sheer size of its appeal. Is Hollywood really this starved for heroines? The answer is yes.

That's crazy. I still need to watch the 1st 2.

I say 750, dont think its gonna break a billion
