LOS ANGELES — “Mockingjay — Part 2,” the final “Hunger Games” film, soared to a $101 million opening in its first weekend in theaters, according to Rentrak estimates.

For most films, the figure would be a coup, but the latest chapter of “The Hunger Games” collected the lowest opening take among the four films in the series.

The series starring Jennifer Lawrence kicked off with a bang in March 2012 with a massive $152.5 million weekend — one of the highest of all time.

“Catching Fire,” the second film, one-upped that with a $158.1 million debut in November 2013. Lionsgate split the final book in Suzanne Collins’ trilogy into two films, following the precedent of “Twilight” and “Harry Potter.” “Mockingjay — Part 1” opened on this weekend last year to $121.9 million, considered at the time to be an expected dip as fans awaited the final installment. Estimated U.S. and Canadian sales:

1. “Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2,” $101 million

2. “Spectre,” $14.6 million

3. “The Peanuts Movie,” $12.8 million

4. “The Night Before,” $10.1 million

5. “The Secret in Their Eyes,” $6.6 million

6. “Love the Coopers,” $3.9 million.

7. “The Martian,” $3.7 million

8. “Spotlight,” $3.6 million

9. “The 33,” $2.2 million
