Box Office has released its long range forecast for Mockingjay Part 1, predicting a ~10% decline from Catching Fire's $424M
Quote:
Catching Fire was the biggest hit to open in North America in 2013 thanks to a staggering $424.7 million haul. Will Mockingjay Part 1 be able to surpass that or will there be a minor slump before the franchise surges again with Mockingjay Part 2? This week BoxOffice takes a closer look at the commercial prospects for the Lionsgate release.
PROS:
- The property has been quite on strong Facebook and Twitter since the release of Catching Fire last November.
- Catching Fire clearly brought a lot of news fans on board, and that's a great thing for the franchise as a whole.
- The marketing campaign has utilized teaser trailers in a very smart way.
CONS:
- If either Interstellar or Big Hero 6 end up over-performing, it could eat into Mockingjay's profits.

So, do you think it will surpass the prediction or fail
Btw, it's very very likely that this movie will be this year's highest grossing film in the United States(again, Catching Fire was last year's)
Because even if it fails by 20% it will still surpass Guardians of the Galaxy
