LOS ANGELES -- "Mockingjay -- Part 2," the final "Hunger Games" film, soared to a $101 million opening in its first weekend in theaters, according to Rentrak estimates Sunday.
For most films, the figure would be a coup, but the latest chapter of "The Hunger Games" collected the lowest opening take among the four films in the series.
The series starring Jennifer Lawrence kicked off with a bang in March 2012 with a massive $152.5 million weekend -- one of the highest openings of all time.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak. Where available, the latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included. Final domestic figures will be released today.
1."The Hunger Games: Mockingjay -- Part 2," $101 million ($146 million international).
