Lionsgate Wants to Film 'Hunger Games' Prequels

Jennifer Lawrence and Lionsgate's Michael Burns

Lionsgate Vice Chairman Michael Burns spoke at the UBS Global Media and Communications Conference in New York this morning and compared The Hunger Games franchise to Harry Potter saying it will "live on and on and on."

Mockingjay Part 2 continues to lead the box office with roughly $525 million earned worldwide. The film opened just over $100 million its opening weekend, behind earlier franchise installments. Burns said he was disappointed, but that it was a "high-class problem" to have. 

Not sure what "kids" Burns talked to but he said, "The one thing that kids say they missed (from the early Hunger Games films) was there was no arenas. If we went backwards there obviously would be arenas." We disagree and have a whole lot to say about this argument, but that's for another post!

Burns also said the studio aims to get more from its other big franchises — including Twilight, The Expendables and Saw, looking towards reboots, prequels or sequels for each of them. 

Burns told Variety, “Whatever extensions of ‘The Hunger Games’ brand we pursue, the intent is not to glorify violence by arbitrarily telling arena stories, but to continue Suzanne Collins’s exploration of the concepts of just war theory.”

Giveaway: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay & Catching Fire Keepsake Ornaments by Hallmark

We're giving away THREE sets each of 2 gorgeous Hunger Games Hallmark Keepsake ornaments thanks to the generosity of the lovely people at Hallmark. 

Each set will include one of the new Mockingjay Part 2 keepsakes. If you haven't seen one of these beauties in person, I can tell you that they are really incredible. They're about 4" and made of metal, which lends a nice weightiness to the ornament. The color is a lovely bright gold and they are the highest quality - certainly a must for The Hunger Games fan's holiday tree. If you don't celebrate Christmas, I'm sure you could find many different ways to use this Mockingjay to spruce up your decor (see what I did there). The ornament retails for $17.95 at Hallmark.

Here's the Mj2 ornament on MY tree.

The set will also include one of the Catching Fire keepsakes. I own and adore this ornament, and was so sad when we didn't get a Mockingjay Part 1 version. These are still selling on ebay and collectors sites for way above the original retail, so now is your chance to snag one if you missed out back in 2013. 

Use the widget below to enter the giveaway which runs Saturday, December 5th through Thursday, Dec 10th at 5pmET. You may enter by doing one or all of the options, the choice is yours. Only one option is required. Three winners will each receive both a Catching Fire and a Mockingjay Part 2 ornament.  This giveaway is open to US residents as Hallmark will be shipping directly to the winners. May the odds be ever in your favor!
