Outside North America , the film was released in a total of 92 countries . It was projected by many box office analysts to surpass the openings of all the previous '' Hunger Games '' film , considering it was the last installment , and that its release date was the same in 87 markets , including China ( the latter being a rare phenomenon ) . It was projected to gross around $ 165 – 185 million . However , it ended up earning $ 144.5 million across 32,500 screens from 87 markets opening at No. 1 in 81 of them . The underperformance was attributed to the 2015 Paris terror attacks which affected many parts of Europe , and the rising value of the U.S. dollar . Earning $ 62 million ( down 57 % ) and $ 30.05 million ( down 49 % ) in its second and third weekend , respectively , it topped the international box office for four consecutive weekends
