Lionsgate wants to revive the Hunger Games franchise, but will the odds be ever in their favor? A new film in the series, Hunger Games Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, will hit theaters in November 2023, and a short teaser was shown at CinemaCon. “You’re invited to return to the Games,” the teaser said, declaring that “in 2023, the world will discover who is a songbird and who is a snake.” This will be a prequel based on Suzanne Collins’ 2020 novel, and it follows a young version of future President Snow, who “sees a chance for a change in fortunes when he is chosen to be a mentor” to a tribute from District 12. The original Hunger Games films were massive at the box office, grossing almost $3 billion, but we’ll have to see if the series can catch fire again almost a decade later. Hey, it’s not like making prequels to hugely popular franchises has ever gone wrong, right?
