The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes was released on November 17 and earned $100.8 million globally during its opening weekend. This was the lowest start for The Hunger Games franchise and the critical reviews were pretty mixed, but that didn’t stop this prequel from topping the box office for two weeks in a row.

After only 11 days in theatres, The Ballad of Songbirds & Snake managed to earn $200 million globally, including 100.5 million in North America alone. It’s Lionsgate’s second film to do so this year, following the success of John Wick: Chapter 4, which crossed the $200 million mark in just eight days.

The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes takes place during the tenth annual Hunger Games and centers on the young Coriolanus Snow, who went on to become the tyrannical president of Panem. Tom Blyth and Rachel Zegler lead the film’s star-studded cast, alongside Peter Dinklage, Jason Schwartzman, Hunter Schafer, Josh Andrés Rivera, and Viola Davis.

According to its official synopsis, The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes follows a young Coriolanus Snow, who is the last hope for his failing lineage. He’s assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird, a young tribute from the impoverished District 12, and he sees this as an opportunity to shift his fate.

Tom Blyth and Rachel Zegler star as Coriolanus Snow and Lucy Gray Baird, while the film’s supporting cast includes Peter Dinklage, Jason Schwartzman, Hunter Schafer, Josh Andrés Rivera, and Viola Davis.

The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes narrowly missed the $100 million mark, failing to make back its budget and meet the box office projections, but its numbers are pretty solid. It topped the global box office with $98.5 million grossed during its opening week, including 44 million domestically and $54.5 million internationally.

This prequel also helped The Hunger Games franchise cross the $3 billion mark at the global box office, despite scoring the lowest opening weekend amongst the five films in this series.

The series is based on Suzanne Collins bestselling Hunger Games novels and the new prequel novel, The Ballads of Songbirds and Snakes, which will be available on May 19.

Lionsgate produced The Hunger Games, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1, and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2, which grossed over $2.97 billion worldwide.

“The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is creatively thrilling and takes this world to complex new dimensions that open up amazing cinematic possibilities,” Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chairman Joe Drake said.

The film takes place 64 years before The Hunger Games and follows 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow who eventually became the authoritarian ruler of Panem and the villain in The Hunger Games. Snow has been chosen to mentor a girl from District 12, the future home of Katniss Everdeen, for the 10th annual Hunger Games.

No cast or release date has been announced.
