'Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2' sequel: Movie is the most awaited film this fall

'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2' Lionsgate

The second part of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay" chapter is set to arrive to the big screen on Nov. 20.

Many expect that the movie will be big and fans of the cast are eager to find out how the story will end.

In a report from Entertainment Tonight, Tara McNamara from movie ticket service Fandango said that "Mockingjay Part 2" is expected to garner half a billion dollars in movie sales in the United States alone.

Last year's "The Hunger Games: Mockingay Part 1" earned $123 million during its weekend debut and went past the $500 million mark for its worldwide sales.

The numbers for part 1 and for part 2 are are not that surprising considering the movie is the most awaited film of the season.

In a "Most Anticipated Fall Movie Survey" conducted by Fandango, it was found out that "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" tops the list, making "The Hunger Games" franchise the top choice for three consecutive years, as reported in Pro Box Office.

The survey was conducted among 1,000 movie buffs, who were asked about the film that they're most excited to watch this fall.

The predicted success of "Mockingjay Part 2" is being compared to "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Past 2," since the latter was also much anticipated when it was released in 2011.

"The Hunger Games" movie franchise has been a huge success because it also features big names in Hollywood. "Mockingjay Part 2" will still feature fan favorites Jennifer Lawrence, Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson, Stanley Tucci, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth.

The movie may be the most talked about movie for fall, but a lot of people bet that it won't earn an Oscar award. Coming to fall are movies of Johnny Depp and Julia Roberts, both of which are more likely to receive an Oscar, according to Fandango chief correspondent Dave Karger.
