Convinced that it has the makings of a hit franchise, Lionsgate is planning to spin the three books in Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games trilogy into four feature films — a la the extended film adaptations of the Twilight trilogy and the Harry Potter novels.
“The property is generating tremendous buzz and excitement, and it all points to a major Lionsgate franchise in the making,” CEO Jon Feltheimer said during an analysts’ call Wednesday.
He added that while the Hunger Games books have sold mostly in North America, they are starting to penetrate the international market, raising the movies’ box office potential overseas.
It is a good segestion but the first on should be made in to two movies because it has to set up the story line and the have the rest be one movie and that is what I have to say on the subject
