The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 tops the UK box office chart with biggest opening weekend of 2014

November 26, 2014 by Gary Collinson

UK box office top ten and analysis for the weekend of Friday 21st to Sunday 23rd November 2014…

Exactly a year after its predecessor topped the chart, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 debuted in first place at the UK box office, pulling in £12,654,109 – accounting for 2 out of every 3 cinema tickets told and taking home the biggest opening of 2014 to date. It’s also a franchise high, beating out The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, which opened with £12.2 million.

Despite the success of Mockingjay, The Imitation Game, Nativity 3: Dude, Where’s My Donkey?! and Interstellar all managed to crack seven figures, although the life was pretty much sucked out of the rest of the chart, allowing Punjabi animation Chaar Sahibzaade to sneak into the chart in tenth with an opening weekend of £129,328.
