– Part 1, which opens in
China on February 8, has already grossed more than $700 million worldwide,
bringing global box office for the franchise to over $2.2 billion.
“The number one
theatrical release of 2014 is poised to become one of the biggest home
entertainment events of 2015,” said Lionsgate Home Entertainment President Ron
Schwartz and Lionsgate President of Worldwide Television & Digital
Distribution Jim Packer. “With the
film’s home entertainment rollout beginning on Digital HD next month and
continuing on Blu-ray, DVD and on demand in March, we’re continuing to expand
the portfolio of choices we offer to enrich the experience of our
consumers.”

Based on the best-selling third novel of Suzanne
Collins’ award-winning trilogy, with a screenplay by Peter Craig (The Town) and Danny Strong (Lee Daniels’ The Butler) and directed by
Francis Lawrence (The Hunger Games:
Catching Fire),
The
Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 reveals that the rebellion is
growing. Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has
survived and is recovering from the cruel and haunting Quarter Quell deep
inside the bunkered catacombs of District 13. Separated from some of her
closest allies and fearing for their safety in the Capitol, Katniss finally
agrees to be the Mockingjay, the symbolic leader of the rebellion. Still
uncertain as to whom she can trust, Katniss must help District 13 rise from the
shadows, all the while knowing that President Snow has focused his hatred into
a personal vendetta against her—and her loved ones.
