"Mockingjay Part 2" director Francis Lawrence expressed the possibility of a "Hunger Games" prequel while the concluding film once again topped the box office for the second straight week.
The director said that the performance of Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen throughout the whole "Hunger Games" franchise has been spectacular and that another film might just be created in the near future.
Likewise, the 25-year-old actress became emotional as the "Hunger Games" movies were about to end with the Lionsgate's release of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2," according to Rapid News Network.
The global release of "Mockingjay Part 2" was deemed as the biggest of the year and Lionsgate's most extravagant launch ever.
Meanwhile, the final "Hunger Games" movie continued the box office reign in the United States as the film raked in $75.8 million, according to USA Today.
Even if "Mockingjay Part 2" only had a slightly underwhelming $102.7 million opening weekend gross, which was the lowest debut for any of the "Hunger Games" movies, the worldwide gross so far has propelled the final film's earnings to an admirable $440.7 million.
With a strong second week at the box office, "Mockingjay Part 2" is set to help the franchise reach an impressive $3 billion total haul.
The "Hunger Games" film currently has a score of 7.1 on IMDb and a generally positive rating of 71% over at Rotten Tomatoes.
At the box office, Disney Pixar's animated comedy film "The Good Dinosaur" scored $55.6 million during the first week but could not topple the Suzanne Collins film adaptation. Similarly, the boxing drama flick titled "Creed" that had Sylvester Stallone acting once again as Rocky Balboa made $42.6 million and settled for third place.
The final installment of the dystopian, sci-fi movie contains the final acting performance of the late actor Philip Seymour Hoffman who died on Feb. 2, 2014, due to an accidental drug intoxication.
"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" was produced by Nina Jacobson and Jon Kilik and was released on Nov. 20 in the United States after premiering in Berlin, Germany on Nov. 4.
