Looks like Hollywood is taking lessons from the Harry Potter and Twilight movies: The final book in The Hunger Games trilogy will be two movies instead of one, Lionsgate announced today.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 will be released Nov. 21, 2014, and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 will be released on Nov. 20, 2015. They will follow the Nov. 22, 2013 release of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the second film based on Suzanne Collins' novels about televised death matches in a dystopic future North American society.
Jennifer Lawrence will continue her starring role as Katniss Everdeen. The first film, The Hunger Games, came out in March to generally good reviews and has taken in $404 million domestically and $678 million worldwide, the Associated Press reported.
