Not a terrible number, but I was expecting this to at least make 50 million. Should still make some profit though after the WW gross.
shareIt's mediocre, the zoomers didn't convince their parents to watch this in the cinema with their woke queens Zegler and Schafer.
shareI guess they just have to keep making these films until the franchise hits the ground.

Industry estimates still see the Suzanne Collins prequel winning the Thanksgiving stretch with a 3-day of $29.3M, 5-day of $42.7M at 3,776 theaters. A $100M running total by Sunday is within sight. Essentially more teens showed up yesterday for Songbirds & Snakes than families did for Wish.
SATURDAY AM: Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes won Black Friday at the box office $11.4M, essentially guaranteeing its lock on No. 1 throughout the entire 3-day and 5-day Thanksgiving stretch with respectively an estimated $27.7M and $41.1M. If the Francis Lawrence directed prequel doesn’t hit $100M by Sunday, then definitely by Monday. Quite often one hears the tired line from distributors when they come in under expectations, “We look forward to a great run during the holidays,” however, that was no line, but a bonafide truth for Songbirds & Snakes: Holiday moviegoers woke up to the great movie that it is. The industry domestic endgame for this movie is around $150M.
