Principal photography for both parts of the film began on September 23, 2013, in Atlanta, before moving to Paris for two weeks of filming and officially concluding on June 20, 2014, in Berlin. Part 1 was released on November 19, 2014 in Brazil, November 20, 2014 in Malaysia, United Kingdom, Greece and Indonesia, November 21, 2014 in the United States, and November 28, 2014 in India, and is scheduled to be released in China on February 8, 2015.

Mockingjay – Part 1 received favorable reviews from critics, with praise aimed at its solid performances and political subtext, but noticed for its lack of action and criticism for splitting the novel into two feature films. The film has garnered two nominations for the Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for Best Actress in an Action Movie for Lawrence and Best Original Song for "Yellow Flicker Beat". The song also received a nomination for Best Original Song at the 72nd Golden Globe Awards.
