Check out the new teaser poster for THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY, PART 1.
Directed by Francis Lawrence and based on the novel “Mockingjay” by Suzanne Collins, THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PARTS 1 & 2 make up the third and fourth installments of heroine Katniss Everdeen’s (Jennifer Lawrence) journey as she leads the districts of Panem in a rebellion against the tyrannical and corrupt Capitol. As the war that will determine the fate of Panem escalates, Katniss must decipher for herself who she can trust and what needs to be done, with everything she cares for in the balance.
The film stars Academy Award winner Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth. Joining are new cast members Natalie Dormer, Stef Dawson, Evan Ross and four-time Academy Award nominee Julianne Moore as President Alma Coin, the leader of the rebellion against the Capitol.
In early January, Lionsgate announced that THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE became the highest-grossing film released at the domestic box office in 2013 as it grossed $409.4 million in its first 49 days of release.
CATCHING FIRE, which set records for the biggest November opening weekend of all time ($158.1 million) as well as the biggest three- and five-day Thanksgiving box office totals ever, has already become the 13th highest-grossing North American release in history and remains in wide release. It passed the first Hunger Games film, which grossed $408 million at the domestic box office, on Tuesday and is the fifth fastest film ever to reach the $400 million mark at the domestic box office.
The success of CATCHING FIRE marked the first time the first two installments of a franchise have each topped $400 million at the domestic box office, and both films now rank among the top 15 domestic film releases in history. CATCHING FIRE also grossed $428.8 million internationally for a worldwide box office total of $838.2 million in its first seven weeks of release compared to $691 million worldwide box office generated during the entire run of the first Hunger Games film. Catching Fire was the first 2D film to become the top-grossing film of the year since 2008.
THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY – PART 1 will be released worldwide on November 21, 2014 and THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY – PART 2 opens November 20, 2015.
