Part two of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay won the weekend with maybe the first disappointing $100 million opening ever. The film was predicted for north of $120 million. Other new releases, The Night Before and Secret in Their Eyes, also underperformed with just $10.1 million and $6.6 million, respectively- Box Office Mojo

The movie’s $101 million is the lowest opening of the four-part franchise, 17 percent below part one, which released around the same time last year. Critical scores and fan excitement have dwindled as the series progressed- Variety

Though it is unclear if she is among the plaintiffs, who remain unnamed, one of Sheen’s former lovers Bree Olson publicly lambasted the actor, saying he told her he was clean and they had had unprotected sex almost every day for a year sometime after Sheen said he was diagnosed. Olson said she is HIV-negative- Howard Stern

Sheen said he made the revelation because he was being extorted for $10 million. Though he was not specific, it is widely assumed this extortion threat was made by a sex worker, and that Sheen regularly has relations with sex workers. This has turned some of the spotlight toward HIV’s effect on the sex worker community- Washington Post

Presumably, a major celebrity revealing his positive status would be a boon to the 35 million HIV-positive people worldwide. Mirror examines how Sheen’s revelation affects this population and how the views on HIV have changed over the years since it was last a majorly publicized disease- Mirror
