The annual tradition of The Razzie Awards being announced the night before the Oscars continued Saturday as The Emoji Movie wins big.

Picking up the most awards including worst picture Fifty Shades Darker also did well.

Check out the 8 minute video below with all the winners.

The last instalment in The Hunger Games series makes its debut at the top of the global box office thanks largely to big debuts from the UK and China.

A debut weekend of $247 million globally is on par with the rest of the series and the film should end the series on a strong note, despite lacklustre reviews.

Ending its run at the top after 4 weeks is Spectre which this week adds $80.3 million to its global gross.

A runaway hit for the Bond franchise Spectre has now taken $677.8 million globally, this is on par with Skyfall but that film had good legs unlike Spectre which seems to be tailoring off, $1 billion could be tough.

Spectre is also the highest grossing total gross on the chart this week.

The Night Before is also new on the global stage making its debut at number 6 with $10.1 million.

Here is the full global box office:

1. Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 - $247,025,000
2. Spectre - $80,300,000
3. Snoopy and Charlie Brown The Peanuts Movie - $14,100,000
4. Our Times - $12,000,000
5. Inside Men - $10,200,000
6. The Night Before - $10,100,000
7. The Transporter Refueled - $9,800,000
8. The Secret In Their Eyes - $8,133,000
9. Spanish Affair 2 - $7,400,000 $7,400,000
10. Hotel Transylvania 2 - $6,575,000

In North America this week the final instalment of the lucrative and successful The Hunger Games series finished with a number 1 debut for The Hinger Games Mockingly part 1.

With a $101 million debut it is the lowest debuting film of the series if only by a tiny amount, the poor reviews of the films haven't helped, this all means the film may have a short chart life.

Mockingjay ends the 2 week run at the top for Spectre which this week falls into the runner up spot with $14.6 million.

The total US gross for the latest Bond film now sits at $153.7 million, its a bit drop for the film in its third week which will make the film struggle to get past the US gross of Skyfall.

Other new films on the US box office this week are: Christmas film The Night Before at number 4 and The Secret in Their Eyes at number 5.
