The highly anticipated third installment of THE HUNGER GAMES franchise MOCKINGJAY, PART ONE opened to audiences last night, earning an estimated 17 million dollars and beating GUARDIAN OF THE GALAXY'S previous record for the year of 11.2 million.

The previous film, CATCHING FIRE, earned 25 million in its first night, and made a total of 158.1 million in its opening weekend. MOCKINGJAY is expected to match the earnings of its predecessor, if not exceed them.

Coming off her second Hunger Games victory, we re-join Katniss Everdeen as she adjusts to life in District 13. After facing pressure from the District's government, Katniss agrees to serve as the symbol of the war against the Capital. Through her position as the "Mockingjay" Katniss works to save Peeta from the clutches of President Snow, take down the Capital, and bring her family and people to safety.

MOCKINGJAY, PART ONE stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Julianne Moore, Elizabeth Banks, Donald Sutherland, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
