In addition, Scholastic announced that it has gone back to press for an additional 400,000 copies, bringing the total number of copies in print for Mockingjay in the U.S. to 1.6 million since its publication on August 24, 2010.

It has appeared on the New York Times bestseller list for more than 100 consecutive weeks since publication, and there are more than 6 million copies of all books in the trilogy in print in the U.S. to date (more than 2.6 million copies of The Hunger Games since September 2008 and more than 1.8 million copies of its sequel Catching Fire in one year since its September 2009 publication).
