Mockingjay has earned nearly $500 million internationally and over $230 million domestically.

With a somewhat leggier-than-expected holiday weekend and a still-robust five-day frame, The Hunger Games is pulling a Phantom Menace, casting off doubts over a smaller-than-expected debut with a stronger-than-expected second weekend. The Lions Gate Entertainment LGF +2.28% actions sequel earned $56.875 million over its Fri-Sun frame, down “just” 53% (different era, different expectations) and a robust $82.6m over the holiday frame. That’s the third-biggest Wed-Sun totals respectively, behind The Hunger Games: Catching Fire ($74m/$109m) and Frozen ($67m/$93m) last year. It’s actually the fifth biggest Fri-Sun Thanksgiving frame as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and Toy Story 2 both made $57m over their Fri-Sun frames but ended up with $82m and $80m respectively over the long frame. Mockingjay part I will end the frame with $225.692m domestic, which is close enough to The Hunger Games‘s $248m ten-day cume to give hope for decent holiday legs. 
I now have no idea how well the film will hold up over the next month, although it has smooth sailing until Exodus drops on December 12th. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire was at $296 million at its tenth day, so obviously any hopes of catching the second film’s $423m domestic, or really the first film’s $408m domestic haul, is something of a pipe dream. But this strong holiday hold, stronger than the recent Harry Potter and Twilight November debuts which topped out at $281m-$296m domestic. So yes, I now think that The Hunger Games: Mockingjay part I will get to $300m domestic. Whether or not it ends up approaching the $330m domestic total of Guardians of the Galaxy (which had 3D and IMAX advantages that Hunger Games 3 lacked), but I imagine it will at-worst put up a decent fight for second place in America alongside The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies which drops on December 17th. 
The film is doing quite well overseas and it actually crossed $480 million worldwide today and should hit $500m worldwide over the next few days. With $270m and going strong, it may well trump the $440m that Catching Fire earned overseas, as it’s still outpacing it and won’t even open in China until early next year.This may be yet another “relative domestic disappoint/overseas smash” franchise entry which is sadly becoming par-for-the-course. But even if it doesn’t quite hit the $440m of Catching Fire, a $400m overseas total and a $300m domestic cume would still mean $700m worldwide for this third Hunger Games film, which is still higher than the $691m earned by The Hunger Games back in March of 2012.
