As expected, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire debuted atop the weekend box office albeit not quite within the studio's more optimistic projections of $170+ million.
Catching Fire bowed with an estimated $161.1 million domestically (surpassing the original film's $152.5 million opening), and a whopping worldwide total of $307.7 million. The 2012 film ended up earning $691.2 million worldwide.
As The Hollywood Reporter explains, "In North America, Catching Fire scored the top November opening of all time with $161.1 million, slaying the record set by fellow YA film adaptation The Twilight Saga: New Moon ($142.8) and marking the fourth-biggest opening of all time after The Avengers ($207.4 million), Iron Man 3 ($174.1 million) and the final Harry Potter film ($169.2 million). Catching Fire enjoys the distinction of toppling The Dark Knight Rises ($160.9 million)."
