The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is headed for a very respectable $44-million debut, according to Lionsgate’s Sunday-morning projection. While substantially less than the amount earned by the other films in the franchise, all of which started out with over $100 million, it’s right in line with our Friday-morning prediction, and sets the movie up for a good run, at least over the coming Thanksgiving week. With another $54.5 million projected internationally, we’re looking at a worldwide opening just shy of $100 million.

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes will land with an opening weekend somewhere in the mid-$40-millions, according to our model’s Friday run. While that’s well short of the debuts of previous films in the franchise, it’s a respectable number, and it’ll look very respectable if the final number comes in ahead of the $46.1 million earned by The Marvels last weekend. Technically, there’s a lot of competition from new releases this weekend, but those films neatly manage to avoid competing with one another, so in reality this could be a weekend when four new movies thrive.
