Box Office Pro projects the film will only gross between $42 million and $55 million in its opening weekend. Specifically, they project the film will gross $47.1 million.
The outlet previously indicated the film would gross between $97 million and $157 million in its entire domestic run.
All four of the previous films had opening weekends above $102 million. Mockingjay Part 2 had the lowest opening weekend of $102.6 million. Mockingjay Part 1 brought in $121.8 million. The original film grossed $152.5 million in its opening weekend and the Catching Fire sequel did $158 million.
While the film is doing worse on all metrics compared to other films in the franchise, it will likely fare better than The Marvels since it’s estimated production budget is only $100 million.
That means the movie needs to get to $250 million to break even to cover the film’s box office split with theaters as well as its marketing costs.
Depending on what kind of legs the film has as well as its international performance will determine whether it gets to $250 million. As it looks now, it will be close to the break even mark.
