The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes could break an unfortunate franchise record based on the latest box office projections.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is projected to break an unpleasant box office record for the franchise. Adapted from the Suzanne Collins prequel novel of the same name, the newest installment takes on the coming-of-age story of a young Coriolanus Snow who mentors District 12 tribute Lucy Gray Baird in the 10th Hunger Games.
Deadline releases new box office projections for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. According to the report, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is expected to earn $50 million during its opening weekend. If the projection stands, the upcoming prequel will break the franchise's record for the lowest-grossing opening weekend. The previous record-holder was Mockingjay - Part 2, which grossed $102 million on its opening weekend in 2015.
Why The Box Office For The Hunger Games Prequel Is Disappointing? The Hunger Games franchise has been largely successful for Lionsgate, bringing in over $3 billion overall. In terms of opening box office totals, however, the franchise saw a major dip in the last two entries of the series. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 made $121 million on its opening weekend in 2014, whereas The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 took in a franchise-low $102 million.
Unfortunately, with a $50 million opening projection, the prequel will likely rank with the lowest domestic opening gross for the franchise, barely making half of Mockingjay - Part 2's three-day weekend collection in 2015. Despite the disappointing projection, there is some hope that the prequel could still become a success, given the movie's budget is $100 million.
The reasons for the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes' low box office expectations may come down to a few factors, including the main cast's inability to promote the prequel due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, the eight-year gap between Hunger Games movies, and the recent controversies with Zegler due to her comments about the Snow White live-action remake.
