The latest instalment of Lionsgates Hunger Games franchise, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1, will be released in China on 8 February. The film, imported to China by China Film Group and jointly distributed by China Film Group, Huaxia Film Distribution and Lionsgates Beijing-based promotional partner Talent International Film Co. Ltd., will debut in over 4,000 theatres across the country, marking the biggest Hunger Games rollout to date in China and the first instalment to be released in 3D.

Mockingjay Part 1 has already achieved the biggest opening weekend of 2014 in North America ($121.9 million) and the third-biggest five-day Thanksgiving weekend of all time ($82.7 million) on its way to a worldwide box office of $700 million and counting. The film has already grossed approximately $375 million internationally. The first three instalments of the The Hunger Games franchise have already grossed more than $2.2 billion at the global box office, with The Hunger Games: Catching Fire becoming the 10th highest-grossing domestic release of all time.

Lionsgate Motion Picture Group co-chairs Patrick Wachsberger and Rob Friedman said, With the widest Hunger Games opening ever in China and the first Hunger Games film to launch in 3D, Mockingjay is positioned to become a major motion picture event in one of our largest and fastest-growing territories.

Directed by Francis Lawrence and starring Academy Award winner Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, Sam Claflin, Woody Harrelson and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, Mockingjay Part 1 is based on the third book in Suzanne Collins trilogy that has already sold more than 82 million copies around the world. Mockingjay Part 2 is slated for worldwide release on November 20, 2015.
