Guardians of the Galaxy may have become the first domestic release to cross $300 million at the box office this year, but I don’t think anyone doubts that will be a drop in the bucket compared to what The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 hauls in when it hits theaters on November 21. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire made over $424 million domestically last year and I’m not expecting the sequel to do any less. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised to see it clock in at over $500 million and end the largest domestic release of 2014.
But let’s not get too ahead of ourselves here, the film still has to hit theaters and Lionsgate is ramping up the promotion. We had the new trailer earlier this week and now we have six new pictures from the film featuring stars Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Natalie Dormer in the film that picks up right where Catching Fire left off.
We rejoin the fight as Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence) has now survived the Hunger Games twice and finds herself in the once-thought destroyed District 13. Under the leadership of President Coin (Julianne Moore) and the advice of her trusted friends, Katniss spreads her wings as she fights to save Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) and a nation moved by her courage.
I’ve included the new trailer once again just below along with five more pictures.
