The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 is a 2015 American science fiction war film directed by Francis Lawrence, with a screenplay by Peter Craig and Danny Strong. It is the fourth and final installment in The Hunger Games film series, and the second of two films based on the novel Mockingjay, the final book in The Hunger Games trilogy, by Suzanne Collins. Produced by Nina Jacobson and Jon Kilik, and distributed by Lionsgate, the film features an ensemble cast that includes Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman (in his final film role), and Donald Sutherland. The first part of the Mockingjay adaptation, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1, was released on November 21, 2014.

The story continues with Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence), as she prepares to win the war against President Snow (Sutherland) and the tyrannical Capitol. Together with Peeta, Gale, Finnick, and others, she travels to the Capitol to kill Snow. However, President Coin (Moore), the leader of District 13 and the rebellion, hides a bigger agenda that could not only jeopardize Katniss' life, but the future of Panem. Principal photography on both parts of the film began on September 23, 2013 in Atlanta, before moving to Paris for two weeks of back-to-back filming and officially concluding on June 20, 2014, in Berlin and at Babelsberg Studios, Germany.[7]

Mockingjay – Part 2 was positively received by critics for its performances, screenplay, and action sequences, though it was criticized for splitting the final adaptation into two parts. Part 2 was released on November 20, 2015 in the United States, in 2D and IMAX, and internationally in 2D, 3D, RealD Cinema, and IMAX 3D in select territories; it's the only film in the series widely released in 3D. Falling below expectations internationally and domestically with a $102.7 million gross during its opening weekend in North America, the film had the sixth-biggest opening in 2015, but held at number one at the international box-office for four consecutive weekends. As of February 6, 2016, the film has grossed over $652 million worldwide, lowest of the four films in the franchise,[6] but still a commercial success.

Plot

Katniss Everdeen is recovering after being attacked by Peeta Mellark, who has been brainwashed by the Capitol. The rebels attack and disable the Capitol's weapons arsenal in District 2. Katniss tries to rally the loyalists against the Capitol, but is shot and injured in the confrontation.

Despite Katniss' desire to kill President Snow personally, Alma Coin refuses to allow her into battle. At Finnick and Annie's wedding, Johanna Mason suggests Katniss sneak aboard a supply ship leaving for the Capitol, where Commander Paylor is planning an invasion. Unable to bring her back, Coin has her assigned to the "Star Squad", led by Boggs and includes Gale, Finnick, Cressida, Messalla, Castor, Pollux, Jackson, the Leeg twins, Mitchell, and Homes; they will follow in relative safety behind the actual invasion of the Capitol providing video of their incursion for propaganda purposes. Boggs carries a holographic map (the "Holo") to help them evade known booby trapped "pods" which line the streets of the Capitol. Coin also sends Peeta to join the squad, even though he has not fully recovered from the Capitol's conditioning.

As they venture deeper into the Capitol, Boggs is mortally wounded, and transfers command of the Holo to Katniss before dying. The squad triggers another pod, which releases a flood of lethal black tar. Peeta momentarily succumbs to his conditioning and attacks Katniss, pushing Mitchell into the tar and killing him. The group takes shelter in an abandoned building, where Jackson, the second-in-command, attempts to commandeer the Holo, until Katniss convinces them she is under secret orders from Coin to kill Snow. Katniss and most of the group escape just before a squad of Peacekeepers arrive and destroy the building, killing the Leeg twins. The Capitol broadcasts a message announcing Katniss's death, which is interrupted by Coin, who delivers an impassioned eulogy for her, to rally the rebels.

The team descends into the Capitol's sewers to avoid further pods, but they are attacked by a horde of genetically engineered creatures called "mutts". Jackson, Castor, and Homes are killed as the squad flees through the sewers. Finnick is overwhelmed as he fights off the swarm to allow the team to escape, forcing Katniss to set the Holo's self-destruct, killing him and the remaining mutts. The surviving team members reach the surface but are chased by Peacekeepers, and Messalla is killed by a pod that melts and disintegrates him. The team takes refuge in a shop, where Tigris, a former Hunger Games stylist and rebel sympathizer, hides them in her basement.

As rebel forces gain ground, Snow invites fleeing Capitol citizens into his mansion for protection. Katniss and Gale join the crowd, posing as refugees to gain access to Snow. Rebels arrive and attack, killing many in the crossfire. In the chaos, Katniss pushes forward to Snow's mansion, where Peacekeepers are herding Capitol children toward the closed gates. A hovercraft flies overhead, and drops small parcels by parachute into the pen of children. The parcels explode, killing them. A team of rebel medics attempt to help the injured, among whom is Katniss's sister Prim. A second wave of bombs detonate, killing Prim and knocking Katniss unconscious.

Upon recovering, Katniss learns the Capitol has been conquered, and Snow captured. When Katniss confronts Snow, he claims that Coin orchestrated the bombing outside his mansion to turn his soldiers against him. Katniss realizes that the incident resembles a trap that Gale had developed earlier. When Gale is unable to assure Katniss that the bombs were not of his design, Katniss cuts all ties with him. Coin invites the remaining Hunger Games victors to vote on a proposal to have another Hunger Games using the children of the Capitol, as a symbolic gesture to satisfy the districts. Katniss swings the vote in favor, in exchange for the right to execute Snow personally.

At the execution, Katniss shoots and kills Coin instead of Snow. The rebels take Katniss into custody, while Snow is left to the mercy of the crowd. Katniss is eventually pardoned for her crime and returns to District 12, where she is joined by Peeta, who has recovered from his conditioning. Commander Paylor is elected the new President of Panem, and Katniss, Peeta, and Haymitch bond over their shared trauma. Years later, Katniss and Peeta play with their two children, as Katniss contemplates the nightmares of her past, and somberly reflects that "there are much worse games to play."

Production

Pre-production

On July 10, 2012, Lionsgate announced that the film adaptation of Mockingjay would be split into two parts; The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1, released on November 21, 2014, and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2, released November 20, 2015.[33] On November 1, 2012, Francis Lawrence, director of Catching Fire, announced that he would return to direct both final films in the series.[34] Talking about direction for last two parts Francis explains, "I felt a different kind of pressure," he explains. "[On 'Catching Fire'], I had to prove myself a little bit as the new guy in the game. It was a relief that it was received well by the fans. Even though I was relieved, it was only momentary; it sort of set the bar higher for the next one!."[35]

On December 6, 2012, Danny Strong announced that he would write the third and fourth films.[36] On February 15, 2013, Lionsgate approved the script for Part 1 and gave Strong permission to write that of Part 2.[37] In August, Hemsworth confirmed that shooting of the film would begin the following month.[38]

The film's production began on September 16, 2013, in Boston, Atlanta, and Los Angeles.[39] On November 13, 2013, producer Nina Jacobson revealed that Peter Craig was also hired to write the adaptations.[1] The film carried a production budget of $160 million with a further $55 million spent on promotion and advertisements, and $13.9 million in television advertisements.[40]

Casting

Philip Seymour Hoffman plays Plutarch Heavensbee in his final appearance before his death in 2014.

All the principal cast such as Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss, Josh Hutcherson as Peeta, Liam Hemsworth as Gale, Woody Harrelson as Haymitch, Donald Sutherland as President Snow, Elizabeth Banks as Effie, Willow Shields as Prim, Paula Malcomson as Mrs Everdeen and Stanley Tucci as Caesar,[41] return to reprise their roles.[28] Julianne Moore also returned to reprise her role as President Alma Coin, along with Philip Seymour Hoffman, who died during the filming in February 2014, as Plutarch. He had nearly completed his scenes,[42] and his two remaining scenes were rewritten to compensate for his absence.[43] Regarding Hoffman's scenes, Lawrence commented that, "He had two substantial scenes left and the rest were appearances in other scenes. We had no intention of trying to fake a performance, so we rewrote those scenes to give to other actors… The rest, we just didn’t have him appear in those scenes. There’s no digital manipulation or CG fabrication of any kind."[44]

On August 26, 2013, it was announced that actress Stef Dawson had joined the cast to portray Annie Cresta.[22] Lionsgate announced on September 13, 2013, that Julianne Moore joined the cast to play President Alma Coin.[12] The same month, Lily Rabe, Patina Miller, Mahershala Ali, Wes Chatham, and Elden Henson were announced to have joined the cast.[20][21][26] to reprise their roles of Commander Lyme, Commander Paylor, Boggs, Castor and Pollux respectively.[45] During this time, there was also a casting call for extras.[46] Rabe subsequently had to leave the film due to a scheduling conflict with the 2014 Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing.[47] On April 4, 2014, it was announced that she would be replaced by Gwendoline Christie to portray Lyme.[28]

Filming

Filming scenes for District 2 at Berlin Tempelhof Airport in May 2014.

Principal photography began on September 23, 2013, in Atlanta, and concluded on June 20, 2014, in Berlin, Germany;[48] the two parts were filmed back-to-back.[7] In October 2013, filming took place in Rockmart, Georgia.[49] After the cast and crew took a break to promote The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, filming resumed on December 2, 2013. On December 14, 2013, shooting was held at the Marriott Marquis in Atlanta.[50] On December 18, shooting began at Caldwell Tanks in Newnan, Georgia.[51]

Philip Seymour Hoffman, who plays Plutarch Heavensbee, died on February 2, 2014. He had completed filming his scenes for Part 1 and had a week left of shooting for Part 2; Lionsgate thereafter released a statement affirming that since the majority of Hoffman's scenes had been completed, the release date for Part 2 would not be affected.[52][53] It was initially announced that Hoffman would be digitally recreated for a major scene involving his character that had not been shot,[54][55] but Francis Lawrence later stated that he had rewritten Hoffman's two remaining scenes to compensate for the actor's absence, and there would be "no digital manipulation or CG fabrication of any kind".[56] In a scene near the end of the film which was to have shown Plutarch speaking with Katniss in detention, Woody Harrelson's character instead reads her a letter from him.[57]

Filming in Atlanta completed in mid April 2014,[58] and production moved to Europe.[59][60] On May 9, filming took place in Noisy le Grand, Paris.[61] It is the same location where Brazil (1985) was filmed 30 years earlier.[62] Toward the end of May, the cast and crew shot scenes at several locations in Berlin and Brandenburg, Germany. In Rüdersdorf, Brandenburg, the crew shot scenes for the portrayal of District 8 in an old cement factory. Hemsworth was injured on the set and was brought to a doctor in the Berlin borough Mitte.[63] Scenes for District 2 were shot at Berlin Tempelhof Airport.[64] A German casting agency sought 1,000 ethnically diverse extras (African, Asian, Southern-European, and Turkish) and "lived faces" to shoot scenes at the Babelsberg Film Studio.[65]

Marketing

Along with the film's first teaser poster,[70] Lionsgate released a teaser trailer on March 18, 2015, titled The Hunger Games Franchise Logo — Remember, featuring the transformation of the Mockingjay, along with notable quotes from the previous three movies, as well as a quote from the new film.[71] The teaser was also played at screenings of Lionsgate's The Divergent Series: Insurgent. Scott Mendelson of Forbes noted the similarity of the teaser with that of The Dark Knight's (2008) teaser, which also features just an animated logo of the film and select dialogue.[72] On June 1, a brand new teaser poster for the film, featuring a vandalised statue of President Snow, was revealed on the viral site TheCapitol.PN. On June 9, the teaser trailer for the film was released.[73] A series of different posters, featuring the main cast with red Mockingjays painted on their faces, was released in July by Lionsgate.

Later in July 2015, Lionsgate released a motion and teaser poster and propaganda video, followed by the film's official trailer. In August, a poster was released stating "100 days until The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2". However, it was taken down shortly thereafter, as the text on the poster appeared to resemble a swear word due to layout.[74] However, another "bold and beautiful" poster was released depicting Katniss standing on the shoulder of a fallen President Snow statue.[75]

In October 2015, the first official clip and the final trailer were released,[76] followed by the film's theatrical posters.[77][78] In October, fan sites revealed the first two TV spots.

"The Mockingjay App" was revealed on October 20.

In certain parts of Israel, the poster which depicted the image of Katniss (Lawrence) aiming her bow and arrow was removed over concerns her image would offend ultra-conservative Jewish audiences. Instead, a fiery mockingjay in the poster's background replaced Lawrence in marketing materials in multiple locations in Israel including Bnei Brak and West Jerusalem. Lionsgate did not comment on the Israeli marketing campaign.[79] In Jerusalem, public posters with the image of a female are often torn down, while Bnei Brak does not allow posters with female images.[80]

Release

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 premiered in Los Angeles, at the L.A. Live, complex on November 16, and in New York on November 18. It premieres internationally in Berlin on November 4, in London November 5, in Paris November 9, in Madrid November 10, and in Beijing November 12.[81][82][83] Due to the terrorist attacks in Paris on November 13, Lionsgate scaled down its L.A. premiere, cancelling press interviews on the red carpet (which was scheduled to last two hours). The stars mostly greeted fans and took a few photos before heading into the screening in Downtown Los Angeles.[81] Mockingjay – Part 2 was released on November 20, 2015 in the United States and Canada.[84] The film was originally scheduled to be released in 2D, Digital 3D, RealD 3D, and IMAX 3D, which would have made it the only film of the series to be globally released in 3D formats; the previous film was released in 3D in China.[85] It is the third film in the franchise to be released in IMAX, following the first and the second film with the exception of the third films.[86] However, the decision to release the film in 3D and IMAX 3D in North America was revoked. Director Francis Lawrence discussed the decision, stating, "I love the 3D format and I know that Mockingjay Part 2 will play perfectly in 3D and 2D internationally – but I'm pleased that we're maintaining the 2D only (and IMAX) formats domestically. It is the best of all worlds!". It was nevertheless released in 3D formats in overseas markets, including China.[87] The film was also released in the Dolby Vision format in Dolby Cinemas, which is the first ever for Lionsgate.[88][89]

Internationally, it was released day-and-date across 87 countries, starting from November 18, in certain markets like Belgium, Brazil, France and the Netherlands and on November 19 in Australia, Germany, Russia, Italy, and the United Kingdom, followed by China, Mexico, Japan, the United States, Canada, and 19 other markets, on November 20, as part of the biggest movie rollout ever by Lionsgate.[90] The only big territories where the film did not open on the same weekend are Spain, Greece and India, which released the movie on November 27.[91]

Home media

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 will be released on Digital HD on March 8, 2016, and will be followed by a Blu-ray and DVD release on March 22, 2016.[92]

Reception

Box office

As of February 14, 2016, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 has grossed $281.3 million in North America and $371.2 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $652.6 million.[6] Its worldwide opening of $247.2 million is the twenty-fifth biggest of all time.[93] It is the lowest grossing film in The Hunger Games film series,[94] and the ninth highest-grossing film of 2015,[95] Lionsgate's co-chairman Rob Friedman blamed the impact of the November 2015 Paris attacks as well as Star Wars: The Force Awakens for the film's underwhelming performance in certain European countries and in the U.S. and Canada, further blaming the later for cutting the film's North American gross by as much as $50–100 million.[96] However, according to Deadline.com, this is untrue given how Mockingjay – Part 2 had the lowest opening among the series and was already grossing behind Mockingjay – Part 1 by $32.7 million or 12% before The Force Awakens even opened.[97] And notably in China (where the film grossed a dismal $21.5 million), the studio blamed The Martian and Spectre for the film's underperformance there after facing competition with the two films along with Taiwanese film Our Times.[96][98]

North America

In North America, according to early trackings, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 was initially projected to earn around $120–125 million in its opening weekend.[99][100] However, estimates decreased to a mid-$110 million range once the film approached its opening day.[101][102] It made $16 million from its Thursday night preview which is the lowest among the franchise but the third biggest of 2015,[103] and $45.5 million on its opening day.[104] In its opening weekend, the film grossed $102.7 million, finishing first at the box office but fell below expectations and becoming the lowest opening among the franchise.[105] Sources attributed to the franchise low to heavy winter weather hitting areas of the United States such as South Dakota, Michigan, and Chicago.[106] Still, it is the fourth film in the Hunger Games film series to open with more than $100 million, and is 2015's sixth-biggest opening, behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Jurassic World, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Furious 7 and Minions.[107] IMAX comprised $8.5 million of the opening gross from 384 IMAX locations.[106] The low opening of the film led to the decline of Lionsgate stock the day after its opening weekend.[108] The film retained the top spot at the box office in the second weekend, declining 49.3% and grossing $52 million.[109] It topped the box office for the third consecutive weekend despite facing competition with the animated movie The Good Dinosaur and the horror comedy Krampus in its second and third weekend respectively.[110] In total, it held the No. 1 spot in the North American box office for four consecutive weekends (even after facing competition with In the Heart of the Sea in its fourth weekend), becoming the first film since Furious 7 to top the box office for four straight weekends and the second film in The Hunger Games film series after 2012's The Hunger Games to achieve this feat.[111][112] As of February 2016, Mockingjay – Part 2 has grossed a total of $281 million, 17% less than Mockingjay – Part 1 and when compared with its two other prequels is the lowest.[6][113]

Outside North America

Outside North America, the film was released in a total of 92 countries.[114][115] It was projected by many box office analysts to surpass the openings of all the previous Hunger Games film, considering it was the last installment, and that its release date was the same in 87 markets, including China (the latter being a rare phenomenon). It was projected to gross around $165–185 million.[91] However, it ended up earning $144.5 million across 32,500 screens from 87 markets opening at No. 1 in 81 of them.[116][117] The underperformance was attributed to the 2015 Paris terror attacks which affected many parts of Europe and the rising value of the U.S.[5] Earning $62 million (down 57%) and $30.05 million (down 49%) in its second and third weekend, respectively, it topped the international box office for four consecutive weekends.[114][115][118]

The United Kingdom posted the highest opening with $17.1 million followed by China with $15.8 million, Germany ($15 million), Mexico ($8.9 million) France ($7.1 million), Australia ($6.8 million), Brazil ($6.8 million), Russia ($6.7 million), Venezuela ($5.6 million) and Italy ($4.3 million).[116] In China, it opened at No. 1 despite facing competition with Taiwanese film Our Times, and the continued run of Spectre and having an underperforming opening.[107][116] It fell precipitously by 89% in its second weekend, which is the worst second weekend drop for any major Hollywood release in China of 2015.[119] Notably in France, the opening was above expectations considering cinemagoers being affected by the Paris terror attacks and the heightened state of alert in Belgium at that time.[116] It topped the United Kingdom and Ireland box office for four consecutive weekends which is a rare achievement and thereby becoming the first film since Les Misérables in 2013 to have four straight weeks of win at the UK box office.[120] It is the highest-grossing film of 2015 in Columbia with $36 million.[121] In terms of total earnings its largest markets are Germany ($43.7 million) and the United Kingdom ($43.1 million) and Columbia ($36 million).[122][123]

Critical response

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 has received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise aimed at the action sequences and cast performance (mainly Lawrence's, as well as Malone and Hutcherson's) and criticism aimed at the makers splitting the source material for two separate adaptations. Many critics, however, found the film a satisfying conclusion to the Hunger Games series.[124] On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 70%, based on 226 reviews, with an average rating of 6.5/10. The site's consensus reads: "With the unflinchingly grim Mockingjay Part 2, The Hunger Games comes to an exciting, poignant, and overall satisfying conclusion."[125] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 65 out of 100, based on 44 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[126] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A–" on an A+ to F scale.[127]

Manohla Dargis from New York Times praised Lawrence's character saying, "Katniss is the right heroine for these neo-feminist times."[128] Stephen Whitty from New York Daily News said, "'Remember that line from the first 'Hunger Games' film: "May the odds be ever in your favor"? Yeah, well, that luck has run out'."[129] Lawrence, Hutcherson, and Sutherland received praise for their performances. The supporting cast's performances, particularly Harrelson and Malone's, were also highly praised, but critics felt their appearances were too brief. Several critics also commented on the film's dark tone, even by comparison to its predecessors.[125][126]

Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly remarked, "With its political power struggles and prodigious body count, all rendered in a thousand shades of wintry greige, the movie feels less like teen entertainment than a sort of Hunger Games of Thrones."[130] Robbie Collin awarded the film four out of five stars and called the film "scorchingly tense". In his review for The Telegraph, he praised the film for "being intense" and lauded the performances of Lawrence and Hoffman."[131]

Benjamin Lee, writing for The Guardian, felt that "the decision to split the final chapter of the dystopian saga into two chapters looms large over a frustratingly-paced mixture of thrilling action and surprisingly dark drama." He praised Jennifer Lawrence's acting and Francis Lawrence's direction and commented, "The decision to turn a 390-page book into over four hours worth of screen time (and a bonus payday) has resulted in a patchy end to a franchise that started so promisingly."[132] Tom Huddleston of Time Out gave the film four out of five stars. He praised the ending of film saying, "genuinely powerful" and commented that, "this might be the most downbeat blockbuster in memory, a film that starts out pitiless and goes downhill from there, save for a fleeting glimmer of hope in the final moments. It’s a bold statement about the unforgiving nature of war, unashamedly political in its motives and quietly devastating in its emotional effect."[133]

Potential sequel or prequel

Although The Hunger Games franchise consists of only three novels (which were adapted in four films), in February 2015, Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer revealed that they were "actively looking at some development and thinking about prequel and developments possibilities" for the film series. He said they were willing to do something similar to what Warner Bros. was doing with the Harry Potter franchise (2001–2011), re-launching with the upcoming Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them films (2016–2020).[134][135] Talking at the UBS Global Media and Communications Conference in New York today, Lionsgate Vice Chairman Michael Burns said (via Variety) that the franchise “will live on and on.” Burns added that the first two films contained arenas, while the last two films did not and noted that younger fans said they missed the arenas in the latter films. “If we went backwards there obviously would be arenas,” he added.[136]
