Young Adult Month - The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

In the not too distant future, after a disaster takes place
A nerdy guy with Rage Issues, among the last of the human race
He was just a media nerd, he ranted a lot, it was quite absurd
But he was special for some reason, so bad men decided it was Rage Issues season

He’ll star in 3 movies, 4 if we squeeze him dry
He’ll go and join a rebel force, as he’ll slowly lose his mind
Now keep in mind, he’s just a guy, no different from you or me
So, he’ll have to learn how to survive, with the help of YA Movies

Franchise Roll call:
The Hunger Games
The Maze Runner
Diiiiiiiivergent

It’s Young Adult Month!




And we’re continuing with the Hunger Games with Catching Fire. Released in 2013, the first thing of note about this movie is the change in director. Francis Lawrence takes the helm with this movie sees it through to the franchise’s conclusion, Gary Ross stepping down due to the ‘tight’ scheduling of the movie.

They also had an issue that Jennifer Lawrence was working on X-men: Days of Future Past (where she plays Mystique) at around the same time, so scheduling had to be agreed between Fox and Lionsgate.

Still, it was successful earning over $800m on a $140 budget and has a respectable 89% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with the critic score of 7.6/10 and an audience rating of 89% with an average 4.2/5.

After the success, such as it was, of the Twilight series, Lionsgate and other studios greenlit a bunch of other book adaptations aimed at Young Adults. The best and most popular of these, in popular consciousness at least is The Hunger Games. Released in 2012, the movie gained popularity, making nearly $700m on a $78m budget. And it was critically well received too, with an 84% rating on Rotten Tomatoes with an average 7.3/10, with an 81% audience score, averaging 4.1/5.
