European terrorists and Star Wars: Episode 7 - The Force Awakens are to blame for the unconvincing distribution of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2. According to the publication Deadline, such a statement was made by one of the leaders of the studio Lionsgate Rob Friedman.

"I'm sure the premiere was influenced by the unique combination of terrorist attacks in Europe and Star Wars," he said. According to Friedman, the impressive start to the seventh episode of the saga cost the Hunger Games finale from 50 to 100 million dollars. It is worth noting that the second part of "Mockingjay" started at the world box office exactly one month before the premiere of the first part of the new trilogy "Star Wars".

Previously, Lionsgate executives provided a similar explanation for the very modest box office of the Hunger Games finals in China. According to studio head John Feltheimer, this was due to the fact that “the movie was sandwiched between the Martian and the 24th episode of the Bond.” We are disappointed with the results of the movie in this country, especially considering that we did premiere in China, "he said.

As a reminder, the worldwide box office for The Hunger Wars: Mockingjay, Part 2 reached $ 650 million and was one of the worst results for the franchise.
