• "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1" ruled the holiday weekend, beating out new arrivals "Penguins of Madagascar" (in second) and "Horrible Bosses 2" (in fifth place). [Box Office Mojo]

• Novelist P.D. James — best known for her crime fiction, including the creation of the urbane detective Adam Dalgleish — died Thursday at the age of 94. She also wrote the Jane Austen sequel "Death Comes to Pemberley" and the science-fiction thriller "The Children of Men." [BBC News]
