Jennifer Lawrence in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

THE HUNGER GAMES ARE BACK!

The excitement and buzz about the new Hunger Games Saga, coming out November 22nd (Mark your calendars!) is that this movie is on fire! (My corny joke of the day)

The Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire, original story written by Suzanne Collins and screenplay adapted by Simon Beaufoy and Michael Arndt, has a big buzz in the media this week since the film goes on the big screen THIS THURSDAY. 

Catching Fire had a change in director, the director of the first Hunger Games (Gary Ross, who helped adapt that screenplay) had dropped out, but luckily Francis Lawrence took over. (Also directed I Am Legend, Water for Elephants, and is a reputable music video director)

The premier of Catching Fire is today, November 18th at the Nokia Theater!

The film had its first release in Brazil on November 15th, bringing in a hot $2.4 million and a total of $6.3 million in that country ALONE.

Things are definitely heating up for the Hunger Games considering! It’s projected to be one of the hottest movies of the year. The projected domestic box office earnings are to be $120 million ….. outrageous.

The reviews so far are looking good, but of course, it is too early for us common folk to tell. The stakes are high however, with such large success of the first in this series, us fans and audience members are really expecting a lot.

The Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire is a continuation following our heroine, Katniss (the amazingly talented and beautiful Jennifer Lawrence) as her and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) embark on a “Victor’s Tour” of the districts as a rebellion is simmering in the dystopian society of Panem. The 75th annual Hunger Games could change their society forever.
