It premiered internationally in Berlin on November 4 , in London November 5 , in Paris November 9 , in Madrid November 10 , and in Beijing November 12 . Due to the terrorist attacks in Paris on November 13 , Lionsgate scaled down its L.A. premiere , cancelling press interviews on the red carpet ( which was scheduled to last two hours ) .

'' Mockingjay – Part 2 '' was released on November 20 , 2015 in the United States and Canada . The film was originally scheduled to be released in 2D , Digital 3D , RealD 3D , and IMAX 3D , which would have made it the only film of the series to be globally released in 3D formats ; the previous film was released in 3D in China . It is the third film in the franchise to be released in IMAX , following the first and the second film with the exception of the third film . However , the decision to release the film in 3D and IMAX 3D in North America was revoked . Director Francis Lawrence discussed the decision , stating , " I love the 3D format and I know that '' Mockingjay Part 2 '' will play perfectly in 3D and 2D internationally – but I 'm pleased that we 're maintaining the 2D only ( and IMAX ) formats domestically . It is the best of all worlds ! " . It was nevertheless released in 3D formats in overseas markets , including China . The film was also released in the Dolby Vision format in Dolby Cinemas , which is the first ever for Lionsgate
