Hunger Games at the box office

This past weekend the Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 1 scored 120 million opening weekend at the box office. From what I heard about trhe movie the audiences are kind of split, some say it was the best Hunger Games so far and others say that they did not like it and it was just boring build up for part 2. I think those mixed reactions hurt their box office a little bit, but still they got 120 million opening weekend at the box office. But this movie did not pass the box office of the Hunger Games Catching Fire that got 158 million opening weekend. The box office should have wnet up for this movie because since Catching Fire was so good you would think the box office for Mockingjay would go up, but it didn't. I think it didn't make more than Catching Fire for a couple of reasons. 1 reason is that this movie is a part 1 and the casual movie gower deosn't care about build up, all they care about is a continuation of the story. The 2nd reason is the movie was released during Oscar season, if they were able to release this movie in the summer whne the kids are able to go, because they are off from school the number would go way up, becasue this is a blockbuster not Oscar bait.
