Day 1 at San Diego Comic Con was a madhouse!! If Lionsgate had any doubts about The Hunger Games: Catching Fire's popularity with fans, they were put to rest today. Fire Marshalls sent huge crowds away from the Lionsgate booth, shutting down the scheduled 11:00am mockingjay pin giveaway. 

But lucky fans who got there early to snag a wristband were treated to an autograph session with Bruno Gunn (Brutus), Stephanie Leigh Schlund (Cashmere), and Meta Golding (Enobaria).
