The Hunger Games rakes in almost $12m in highest opening weekend of the year
The penultimate movie of the Hunger Games series raked in almost $12 million on its opening weekend at the Australian box office, the highest of the year so far.
The Hunger Games – Mockingjay Part 1 was shown at 574 screens and took $11.88m, way ahead of the previous best opening weekend of 2014 which saw Transformers: Age of Extinction take $8.8m back in June.
But it fell short of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire which grossed $12.5m when it opened at the back end of 2013.
Interesting to note, the biggest entertainment release of the year is not a film:
