The Hunger Games: Mockingjay-Part 1 made $275 million dollars it’s opening weekend with $123 million in North America, and $152 million coming from theatres around the world. Not too shabby when you consider that both Mockingjay – Part 1 and Mockingjay – Part 2, cost approximately$250 million to make.
