Box office


As of February 14, 2016, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 has grossed $281.3 million in North America and $371.2 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $652.6 million. Its worldwide opening of $247.2 million is the twenty-fifth biggest of all time.
 It is the lowest grossing film in The Hunger Games film series, and the ninth highest-grossing film of 2015, Lionsgate's co-chairman Rob Friedman blamed the impact of the November 2015 Paris attacks as well as Star Wars: The Force Awakens for the film's underwhelming performance in certain European countries and in the U.S. and Canada, further blaming the later for cutting the film's North American gross by as much as $50–100 million.However, according to Deadline.com, this is untrue given how Mockingjay – Part 2 had the lowest opening among the series and was already grossing behind Mockingjay – Part 1 by $32.7 million or 12% before The Force Awakens even opened. And notably in China (where the film grossed a dismal $21.5 million), the studio blamed The Martian and Spectre for the film's under performance there after facing competition with the two films along with Taiwanese film Our Times.
