J. Kim Murphy “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” has caught some fire at the domestic box office. Lionsgate’s “Hunger Games” prequel earned about $19.1 million on its opening day from 3,776 locations, a figure that includes $5.75 million in Thursday previews.
The new installment in the young adult dystopian action series will still secure the top slot at the domestic box office over a busy weekend, which also sees the wide releases of the animated sequel “Trolls Band Together” and the seasonal slasher “Thanksgiving.” “Songbirds and Snakes” has a leg up with increased ticket prices from Imax and other premium large formats.
It’s looking at a three-day tally of about $45 million, which would mark an okay debut for a franchise revival with a $100 million production budget.
That’s still trending behind projections of $50 million heading into the weekend. It also has little hope of reaching the box office heights of previous “Hunger Games” entries.
