Looking at the Weekend: Nov. 21-23, 2014

Box office records won’t be annihilated, but they won’t be held too far at bay. The third of four Hunger Games films opens this weekend and it’s sure to be huge.

Individual Commentaries

Wesley Lovell: The book series is fantastic and the movies have been terrific so far. Can they make it three-for-three? In limited release, the prospects are much more grim.
Peter J. Patrick: Unless you’re a big Hunger Games fan or haven’t gotten enough of the Penn State scandal, it’s a good week for catching up on whatever you may have missed
Tripp Burton: Not much to pick from, but Mockingjay looks like a worthy follow-up to the first two Hunger Games films.
Thomas LaTourrette: The Hunger Games movies have been consistently enjoyable, so Mockingjay will be worth seeing. The previous films have not proved major Oscar bait, so I doubt this one will either, but it should still be fun.
