BOX OFFICE: THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY Set To Win Thanksgiving Weekend
The Thanksgiving weekend looks set to provide a boost to the movies currently open at the North American box office, and despite tough competition from a handful of new releases, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 looks set to once again come out at #1...
It looks like The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 will be the #1 movie at the box office this weekend, with a boost from the Thanksgiving holiday. Horrible Bosses 2 and Penguins of Madagascar are going to take some of the attention away from the big screen adaptation of Suzanne Collins' novel, but likely won't be able to top the $80 million haul which the first half of The Hunger Games finale will earn. Instead, they're each expected to earn somewhere between $35 - $45 million each. These are all fairly early predictions, but the Jennifer Lawrence led flick should come out on top regardless. The Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens teaser likely won't make a difference either, especially as it's now been confirmed to be released online tomorrow (details on that here if you missed them). If none of the movies above appeal to you, then hunt down The Imitation Game starring Benedict Cumberbatch (a.k.a. the future Doctor Strange).
