DigitalSpy reports that Francis Lawrence may create a movie that goes past the third book. Not sure how I feel about this.

The Hunger Games film series could extend past Suzanne Collins's original trilogy. 
Director Francis Lawrence has said that more films are being considered for the hit young adult franchise. 
"Everybody is thinking about it, and talking about it," the Mockingjay director told MTV.

"I just think that one has to go into that world carefully. Because I think a huge part of what makes the stories great is that it was really built on this idea of the consequence of war, and you have an amazing character like Katniss at the center of it.

"And so to just say, 'Oh, we're still in the Hunger Games world', I think is really risky, and you need to make sure that you have something new to say, and either new characters need to be created that are just as compelling as Katniss."

He continued: "It's a tricky thing, but I'm definitely open to talking about it, and I think everybody's thinking about it. Everybody loves the world and the ideas."

Mockingjay has earned nearly $500 million internationally and over $230 million domestically.

With a somewhat leggier-than-expected holiday weekend and a still-robust five-day frame, The Hunger Games is pulling a Phantom Menace, casting off doubts over a smaller-than-expected debut with a stronger-than-expected second weekend. The Lions Gate Entertainment LGF +2.28% actions sequel earned $56.875 million over its Fri-Sun frame, down “just” 53% (different era, different expectations) and a robust $82.6m over the holiday frame. That’s the third-biggest Wed-Sun totals respectively, behind The Hunger Games: Catching Fire ($74m/$109m) and Frozen ($67m/$93m) last year. It’s actually the fifth biggest Fri-Sun Thanksgiving frame as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and Toy Story 2 both made $57m over their Fri-Sun frames but ended up with $82m and $80m respectively over the long frame. Mockingjay part I will end the frame with $225.692m domestic, which is close enough to The Hunger Games‘s $248m ten-day cume to give hope for decent holiday legs. 
I now have no idea how well the film will hold up over the next month, although it has smooth sailing until Exodus drops on December 12th. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire was at $296 million at its tenth day, so obviously any hopes of catching the second film’s $423m domestic, or really the first film’s $408m domestic haul, is something of a pipe dream. But this strong holiday hold, stronger than the recent Harry Potter and Twilight November debuts which topped out at $281m-$296m domestic. So yes, I now think that The Hunger Games: Mockingjay part I will get to $300m domestic. Whether or not it ends up approaching the $330m domestic total of Guardians of the Galaxy (which had 3D and IMAX advantages that Hunger Games 3 lacked), but I imagine it will at-worst put up a decent fight for second place in America alongside The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies which drops on December 17th. 
The film is doing quite well overseas and it actually crossed $480 million worldwide today and should hit $500m worldwide over the next few days. With $270m and going strong, it may well trump the $440m that Catching Fire earned overseas, as it’s still outpacing it and won’t even open in China until early next year.This may be yet another “relative domestic disappoint/overseas smash” franchise entry which is sadly becoming par-for-the-course. But even if it doesn’t quite hit the $440m of Catching Fire, a $400m overseas total and a $300m domestic cume would still mean $700m worldwide for this third Hunger Games film, which is still higher than the $691m earned by The Hunger Games back in March of 2012.

In summary, the first edition of Mockingjay wasn't nearly as exciting as Catching Fire, but it wasn't as poorly constructed as the first movie. With the portion of the source material that was given, Francis Lawrence certainly did his job.


There were some distinct inconsistencies in regards to the book. Coin was portrayed in a far too sympathetic light, it didn't carry the same 'texture' as the first portion of the book. Effie, however, was a welcome diversion. 

Jennifer Lawrence's acting has greatly improved. She carried herself beautifully as Katniss. Her rendition of the Hanging Tree was truly breathtaking. Josh Hutcherson's scenes were heartbreaking. Natalie Dormer played Cressida in a brilliant light. The dream sequence (in which Katniss imagines Peeta in Thirteen) was so adorably tragic.

There were some slow moments, of course, and it probably would have been better for the movie to end with Peeta's hands around Katniss's neck, like the chapter did in the books, but it was an overall decent adaption. 

That being said, the movie definitely left me with an empty feeling. Although, I suppose that was the point.

(P.S.) There was some bad-ass tree climbing in this film.

This beautiful still of Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss has been released. She appears to be hunting, so it must be from the trips above ground (possibly with Gale) during her time in District 13?

Lionsgate set up an awesome booth at this year's SDCC including "Peeta's" Bakery, Capitol scenes, armed peacekeepers, etc. Apparently the bakery was even selling cheese croissants (perhaps a nod to the cheesy buns mentioned in the books?). Definitely a great place to check out if you are at the Con!

Capitol Couture released these full body images of Johanna and Peeta in the attire they wore during the propaganda film:
"Let’s get on with it then," the battle-ax valkyrie huffs, shifting her weight and crossing her legs impatiently. Johanna Mason is as much a stately figure as ever, her long, bespoke skirt an iridescent pool around her feet. Risen from the waters of the magnificently treacherous Quarter Quell arena, her alabaster skin and flowing blonde locks belie the deadliest of instincts.
President Snow, in his perpetually magnanimous manner, saw fit to offer his personal sitting room for our exclusive interview and we simply could not refuse.The gilded room around us reflects glints of Johanna’s ivory ensemble, snaking around her arms in a woven pattern and blooming into a flared collar. Seated next to her is a silent Peeta Mellark, his fitted snowy suit and structured lapels speaking volumes in the ethereal light of the room
