Synopsis
64 years before Katniss Everdeen volunteered as tribute, and decades before Coriolanus Snow became the tyrannical President of Panem, a young Coriolanus is the last hope for his failing lineage, the once-proud Snow family that has fallen from grace in a post-war Capitol. With his livelihood threatened, Snow is reluctantly assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird, a tribute from the impoverished District 12. But after Lucy Gray’s charm captivates the audience of Panem, Snow sees an opportunity to shift their fates. With everything he has worked for hanging in the balance, Snow unites with Lucy Gray to turn the odds in their favor. Battling his instincts for both good and evil, Snow sets out on a race against time to survive and reveal if he will ultimately become a songbird or a snake.

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes will pull off a surprise second win at the box office over Thanksgiving weekend, besting Disney’s latest animated feature and the historical grandeur of Ridley Scott’s Napoleon to pull off the win. Songbirds will make $28.82 million this weekend, according to Lionsgate’s Sunday-morning prediction. That’s a drop of 35% from its opening weekend.

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is headed for a very respectable $44-million debut, according to Lionsgate’s Sunday-morning projection. While substantially less than the amount earned by the other films in the franchise, all of which started out with over $100 million, it’s right in line with our Friday-morning prediction, and sets the movie up for a good run, at least over the coming Thanksgiving week. With another $54.5 million projected internationally, we’re looking at a worldwide opening just shy of $100 million.

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes will land with an opening weekend somewhere in the mid-$40-millions, according to our model’s Friday run. While that’s well short of the debuts of previous films in the franchise, it’s a respectable number, and it’ll look very respectable if the final number comes in ahead of the $46.1 million earned by The Marvels last weekend. Technically, there’s a lot of competition from new releases this weekend, but those films neatly manage to avoid competing with one another, so in reality this could be a weekend when four new movies thrive.
