The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 is a 2015 American epic dystopian 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 stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Julianne Moore, Sam Claflin, Jena Malone, 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 (Jennifer Lawrence), as she prepares to win the war against President Snow (Donald Sutherland) and the tyrannical Capitol. Together with Peta, Gale, Finnick, and others, she travels to Capitol to kill Snow. However, President Coin, 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, Germany.[7] The film 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 is the only film in the series widely released in 3D. Mockingjay - Part 2 was positively received by critics being praised for its acting—particularly that of Lawrence, Hoffman, Hutcherson and Malone—writing and script, cinematography and the action scenes. However it was criticised for splitting the final adaptation into two parts. As of 30 November 2015 Mockingjay - Part 2 has grossed over $442 million worldwide.[6]

Plot

Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) recovers after being attacked by a brainwashed Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson). After rebel forces neutralize the Capitol's weapons supply in District 2, loyalists of the Capitol surrender. Katniss, who attempted to dissuade them from fighting for the Capitol, is shot and injured in the confusion.

After recovering, Katniss approaches President Alma Coin (Julianne Moore) and volunteers to kill President Snow (Donald Sutherland) but Coin declines. During the wedding of Finnick Odair (Sam Claflin) and Annie Cresta (Stef Dawson), Johanna Mason (Jena Malone) tells Katniss of an aircraft leaving for the Capitol. After sneaking aboard, Katniss is assigned to Squad 451, led by Boggs (Mahershala Ali), but learns their mission is to be the onscreen face of the rebellion. They use a holographic map (the "Holo") to evade pods created by Gamemakers which line the streets of the Capitol. Peeta is assigned to the team by Coin despite being vulnerable to the Capitol's conditioning, and Boggs warns Katniss to be careful.

As they venture into the Capitol Boggs steps on an hidden pod which blows off his legs, he transfers use of the Holo to Katniss before dying. Another pod is triggered, which releases an avalanche of black tar. Peeta has an episode and attacks Katniss, pushing Mitchell (Joe Chrest) into the tar. They evade the avalanche and take shelter in a building. Katniss tells the group that she is under orders from Coin to kill Snow. The Peacekeepers find them, but they are able to escape before they arrive. Peacekeepers bomb the hideout, killing the Leeg twins (Misty and Kim Ormiston) who stayed behind. The Capitol broadcasts a message announcing the supposed deaths of Squad 451, but Coin hijacks the signal and says that they should be praised.

The team ventures into the Capitol's sewers to avoid the pods, but is attacked by genetically-engineered creatures called "mutts". Commander Jackson (Michelle Forbes), Castor (Wes Chatham), Homes (Omid Abtahi), and Finnick are killed. The surviving team members are chased by Peacekeepers after reaching the surface, and a pod kills another squad member, Messalla (Evan Ross). The team escapes and takes refuge in a shop, where a former Hunger Games stylist, Tigris (Eugenie Bondurant), hides them in her basement. While they mourn the loss of the rest of their squad, Katniss confesses that she lied about her orders to kill Snow.

Snow announces that the rebels have invaded the Capitol and welcomes refugees into his mansion. Katniss and Gale (Liam Hemsworth) pose as refugees to gain access to Snow. The rebels arrive and attack the Peacekeepers, killing many in the crossfire. In the chaos, Katniss marches towards Snow's mansion and finds Peacekeepers using Capitol children to provide Snow with a human shield. A Capitol hovercraft flies by and drops several parachutes into the crowd which explode, killing the children. A team of rebel medics attempt to help the injured, among whom is Katniss' sister, Prim (Willow Shields). Katniss rushes towards her as 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 Gale had been working on. When Gale is unable to assure Katniss that the bombs were not of his design, Katniss is devastated. She attends a meeting with Coin and the remaining victors to discuss one final Hunger Games with the children of the Capitol. Katniss votes in favor of the Games, in exchange for the right to execute Snow.

At the execution, instead of shooting Snow, Katniss shoots the arrow into Coin's chest, killing her. The rebels take Katniss into custody, while Snow is left to the mercy of the crowd. Katniss is pardoned for her crime, and through a letter delivered by Haymitch (Woody Harrelson), Plutarch Heavensbee (Philip Seymour Hoffman) advises Katniss to return home to District 12.

Katniss returns to her home in the ruins of District 12. She is joined by Peeta, who has recovered his feelings for her and they grieve for Prim. Commander Paylor (Patina Miller) is elected the new President of Panem, and Katniss, Peeta, and Haymitch bond over their shared trauma. Years later, they are shown playing with their two children, as Katniss ponders over the nightmares of her past.

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]

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, Boggas, Castor and Pulloz 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. At the time of his death, 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 was yet to be shot.[54][55] In the December 2014 issue of Empire, Francis Lawrence revealed that there was no intention to "fake a performance", and stated that he had rewritten Hoffman's two remaining scenes to compensate for the actor's absence; Lawrence confirmed that there would be "no digital manipulation or CG fabrication of any kind."[56]

On April 18, 2014, Nina Jacobson announced that filming in Atlanta had completed;[57] the next day, Francis Lawrence announced that production would be moving to Europe.[58][59] It was also announced that battle scenes would be filmed in Paris and at Templehof Airport in Berlin.[60][61] Filming began on May 7 in the streets of Paris, where Jennifer Lawrence and Hemsworth were spotted while filming scenes among extras.[62]

On May 9, filming took place in Noisy le Grand, Paris, where Jennifer Lawrence, Hutcherson, and Claflin were seen on the set.[63] It is the same location where Brazil (1985) was filmed 30 years earlier.[64] 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.[65] Scenes for District 2 were shot at Berlin Tempelhof Airport, where Lawrence and Hutcherson were seen on set.[66] 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.[67]

Marketing

Along with the film's first teaser poster,[72] 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.[73] 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.[74] 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.[75] 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.[failed verification] However, another "bold and beautiful" poster was released depicting Katniss standing on the shoulder of a fallen President Snow statue.[76]

In October 2015, the first official clip and the final trailer were released,[77] followed by the film's theatrical posters.[78][79] In October, two TV spots, and a one-minute TV spot, were released.

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.[80] In Jerusalem, public posters with the image of a female are often torn down, while Bnei Brak does not allow posters with female images.[81]

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.[82][83][84] 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.[82] Mockingjay – Part 2 is scheduled to be released on November 20, 2015 in the United States and Canada.[85] 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.[86] 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.[87] 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 will nevertheless be released in 3D formats in overseas markets, including China.[88] The film was also released in the Dolby Vision format in Dolby Cinemas, which is the first ever for Lionsgate.[89][90]

Internationally, it was released day-and-date across 87 countries, starting from November 18, in certain markets like Belgium, Brazil, France, the Netherlands, and the Philippines[91] 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.[92] The only big territories where the film did not open on the same weekend are Spain, Greece and India, which release the movie on November 27.[93]

Reception

Box office

As of November 29, 2015, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 has grossed $198.5 million in North America and $243.7 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $442.2 million, against a budget of $160 million.[6] Its worldwide opening of $247.2 million is the twenty-fourth biggest of all time.[94]

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.[95][96] However, estimates decreased to a mid-$110 million range once the film approached its opening day.[97][98] It made $16 million from its Thursday night preview which is the lowest among the franchise but the third biggest of 2015,[99] and $46 million on its opening day.[100] 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.[101] Sources attributed to the franchise low to heavy winter weather hitting areas of the United States such as South Dakota, Michigan, and Chicago.[102] Still, it is fourth film in the Hunger Games film series to open more than $100 million, and is 2015's fifth-biggest opening, behind Jurassic World, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Furious 7 and Minions.[103] IMAX comprised $8.5 million of the opening gross from 384 IMAX locations.[102] The low opening of the film led to the decline of Lionsgate stock the day after its opening weekend.[104] The film retained the top spot at the box office in second weekend, declining 49.7% and grossing $51.6 million.[105]

Outside North America

Outside North America, the film was released in a total of 92 countries.[106] 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.[93] However, it ended up earning $144.5 million across 32,500 screens from 87 markets opening at No. 1 in 81 of them.[107][108] 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%) in its second weekend, it topped the international box office for two weekends.[106]

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).[107] 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.[103][107] 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.[107] In terms of total earnings its largest markets are the United Kingdom ($29.2 million), Germany ($25.2 million), Mexico ($14.4 million) and Australia ($12.7 million).[106]

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), 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.[109] On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 71%, based on 196 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."[110] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 65 out of 100, based on 44 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[111] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A–" on an A+ to F scale.[112]

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.[110][111] 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."[113] 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."[114]

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 Lawrence acting and Francis 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."[115] Tom Huddleston of Time Out gave the film four out of five stars. He praised the ending of film saying, "genuinely powerful" and commenced 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."[116]

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).[117][118]
