Suzanne Collins' bestseller makes final return to Box Office

The odds have been in Suzanne Collins' favour the past few years.

The final movie installment of Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games trilogy, Mockkingjay 2, is ready.

In the recently released teaser trailer, all eyes are on taking down President Snow (Donald Sutherland) and the Capitol. Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) presses on despite concerns about her image as a figure for the revolution.

"We all have one enemy," Katniss shouts in the teaser. "He corrupts everyone and everything."

While most filming was done with the first Mockingjay movie, the cast has seen each other recently. Owing to an epilogue that went unshot previously, according to director Francis Lawrence's  with Collider, the cast and crew just got back together to finish the series' final scenes. They wrapped this recently — perfectly timed with this teaser's release.

While Mockingjay — Part 1 was a significant step down box office-wise for the massive franchise, that's not unusual. The second-to-last films of both the Harry Potter and Twilight franchises, also the first parts of a segmented final book, were both outgrossed by the final installments.

Hunger Games may not be the hottest franchise of the moment, but it's sure to have a dynamic final bow. As this teaser indicates, if it has to go out, it's going to go out in style.
