The franchise is also a huge performer overseas, and so far overall, Mockingjay is running 5 percent ahead of Catching Fire as it begins rolling out across the globe. It opened to more than $1 million in Australia midweek, the top opening of the year so far. And in South Korea, it is pacing 41 percent ahead of Catching Fire and in the U.K., 10 percent. Some Latin American markets are up as much as 55 percent.
Even with an underperformance in the US it's DRAGGING your faves to the pits
Quote:
Eager fans propelled The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1 to a stellar start Thursday night at the North American box office, where the movie scored $17 million, by far the best showing of the year.
Not surprising in general, especially in the UK and Europe overall with the main press up to this point happening there, including the world premiere. Hopefully it picks up for the weekend at home to top $150M for the weekend.
