Nearing the $100 million USD mark worldwide just three days after the release which included hitting $44 million USD in North America and $54.5 million internationally, the numbers might just be enough to convince studios like Lionsgate that there might just be more to explore here.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the strong numbers do push towards a justification of more films, however, they did not come close to the original franchise that launched Jennifer Lawrence&#8216;s stardom. Collectively, the films starring Lawrence grossed $3 billion USD globally. The first four installments were released between 2012 and 2015, each generating at least $100 million USD domestically and over $200 million USD or even up to $300 million USD globally in their respective opening weekends. <\/p>\n<p><em>Variety<\/em> has reported that <em>The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes<\/em> is positioned well at a financial standpoint, despite substantially less than its predecessors in the franchise. Lionsgate Vice Chairman said, &#8220;We were a little lighter [than projections] domestically and a little over [projections] internationally, so we&#8217;re thrilled with the result. We were a little lighter [than projections] domestically and a little over [projections] internationally, so we&#8217;re thrilled with the result.&#8221; Being that it is a prequel, statistically prequels do not usually do better than the originals, but with this one, it will appear moderately placed.<\/p>\n<p>The film sees an entirely new cast from the original led by Rachel Zegler and Tom Blyth. The film centers around a young Coriolanus Snow, who later becomes the tyrannical leader of Panem. It also follows District 12 tribute, Lucy Gray Baird, whom he mentors in the 10th annual Hunger Games.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the film in theaters now.<\/p>\n<p>In other entertainment news, watch the official <em>Madame Web<\/em> trailer for a first glimpse of the Spider-Man spin-off.<br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2023\/11\/the-hunger-games-ballad-of-songbirds-and-snakes-no-1-global-box-office-100-million-usd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes snags the top spot at the global box office and nationwide<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":84495,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[516],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&#039;The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes&#039;
