Lionsgate spent nearly $200 million to make and market the film. The series made up ground overseas, picking up $147 million after debuting in nearly every significant foreign territory, including China. Investors in Lionsgate, the studio behind the series, reacted negatively to news that “Mockingjay - Part 2” would miss projections, sending the company’s stock down more than 3% on Friday. It also represents a low for the series, falling far short of the $158.1 million high-water mark established by 2013’s “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.” It’s a sign, perhaps, that interest in the dystopian world of Panem has crested. The massive bow falls short of tracking that projected the picture would top $120 million in its initial weekend in theaters. That ranks as the year’s fifth biggest opening, but it wasn’t as big a sendoff for Katniss Everdeen and her fellow revolutionaries as some had predicted. LOS ANGELES, Nov 22 () - “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2” dominated the weekend box office with the final film in the science-fiction franchise debuting to $101 million.
