Hunger Games 2 Catching Fire Movie Release Date & Summary: Lionsgate Considers Building Hunger Games Theme Park
Suzanne Collins' best-selling series of sci-fi books, "The Hunger Games," is now being considered as the basis for a theme park based on its setting, characters and plot.
The 2012 blockbuster movie "The Hunger Games," starring Jennifer Lawrence, generated $691.2 million in ticket sales worldwide, and it was the third best-selling film in the U.S. theatrical market in 2012 with $408 million.
The Chief Executive Jon Feltheimer of Lionsgate Entertainment Corp., a studio produced the futuristic movie, revealed that the studio is pursuing the possibility of creating a "Hunger Games" theme park.
"We have been approached in two different territories about potential theme park opportunities, which give you a sense of the cultural impact of this franchise," Feltheimer told analysts during a recent conference call after the release of Lionsgate's quarterly earnings.
"We are excited about those opportunities and are pursuing them," he added.
People can possibly expect the "Hunger Games" theme park to be focused on teenage gladiators forced to fight to the death in a televised game - maybe visit Panem's 12 districts, meet actors dressed up as some of their favorite main characters, try out Katniss' arrow and bow, or help lead a rebellion against the dictator President Snow.
"The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," which is the sequel to 2012' "The Hunger Games," is slated to hit theaters soon, on November 22. The third and fourth episode, "Mockingjay Part 1" and "Mockingjay Part 2", are schedule for releases in November 2014 and 2015, respectively.
