The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, which is one of the much-awaited from of the year, was released last week in theatres. Despite getting mixed reviews from critics, the film is making big waves at the box office. Now the film’s worldwide collection is out. Let’s take a look at it.
The American dystopian action film, helmed by Francis Lawrence, is an adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ 2020 novel “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.” Positioned as a prequel to “The Hunger Games” (2012), the movie stands as the fifth installment in The Hunger Games film series.
As per the latest report from Variety, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is edging toward the $100 million milestone globally after three days in theaters. The box office figures, comprising $44 million in North America and $54.5 million internationally, secured its position at the top.
Despite its success, these figures pale in comparison to the original “Hunger Games” franchise, which propelled Jennifer Lawrence to stardom, earning a cumulative $3 billion globally across its four installments from 2012 to 2015. Each film garnered at least $100 million domestically and $200 million (with “Catching Fire” reaching up to $300 million) in their respective opening weekends.
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes holds a favorable financial position during its theatrical run, with a $100 million production cost. It surpasses the original’s budget and is more economical than subsequent sequels.
Lionsgate anticipates a profit from The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, with international licensing offsetting production costs. Initial box office returns don’t signal overwhelming interest in Panem, challenging the idea of a complete franchise reboot without Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark.
In The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Rachel Zegler and Tom Blyth lead a new cast, exploring Coriolanus Snow’s early years and his mentorship of District 12 tribute Lucy Gray Baird in the 10th Hunger Games. Critical reception is mixed (60% on Rotten Tomatoes), but audiences seem more positive than critics.
