READ THOSE BOOKS! They will slay your life.

**** guys. Remember when I said this to someone asking if they had time to read the books?
Can you believe it's only a month away now?
That's insane.
And look how much this thread has grown. It started with the same 4 or 5 people posting and now it's expanding.
Time flies

These books have consumed my every waking moment for the past week. I sped through them all (at the expense of my studies but who cares) and I'm hooked. I can't wait for the movie

I'm buying the first book this weekend.

Huge online movie ticket seller Fandango Wednesday began advance sales for Lionsgate’s upcoming thriller The Hunger Games. And already it’s exclipsing Twilight Saga: Eclipse as Fandango’s biggest first day advance ticket-seller in its 12-year company history. Hundreds of Hunger showtimes are already sold out for the March 23 opening. Even though the film doesn’t open for another month, the first-day ticket sales yesterday broke the previous first day advance ticket-seller record held by Eclipse on May 14, 2010. ”The Hunger Games is off to a fantastic start,” Rick Butler, EVP/General Manager of Fandango said in today’s statement. “Yesterday we saw the biggest first day advance ticketing sales in our company’s nearly 12-year history – which is especially impressive for a March release and a non-sequel.” Fandango says theater owners are continuing to add new showtimes. Looks like Lionsgate has a humongous hit on its hands, although the box office could always prove frontloaded because of the advance ticket sales.

Does Suzanne Collins have her own twitter, or is there just the official hunger games film account?

Newest TV spot. Features the...wait for it....






BREAD.
SCENE.



Now, before everyone starts freaking out over the fact that Katniss is pale, and Peeta is too muscular, and they're too old, and all the little details that ultimately aren't important, can we just appreciate the fact that they've stayed true to the book, plotwise.
I got the illustrated movie companion and it's absolutely brilliant. It explains every change that they made (which aren't many) and why they changed it...and all their reasons make a lot of sense.
This movie is going to be amazing. I just know it is.

Also, this is officially my favorite TV spot. .___.

[Dingdong123]

I love predicting future box office numbers. And i also see this movie hitting aroung 230 Million dollars at the end of its US run. Lol. Just saying.

Anyway, i also think that this movie would slay critically. Jennifer Lawrence's performance alone>>>>>>>>>

[Queen Bea.]

It's like a double countdown because the movie comes out on my birthday.

Can;t ****ing wait

[Allstar]

So, I read the first book and am nearly done with the second one. Can't wait for the movie.

The hype and amount of commercial/press this movie is getting is insane.

Hollywood was buzzing early this morning over the first set of tracking numbers for Lionsgate’s film series The Hunger Games. With 23% ‘First Choice’ and 54% ’Definite Interest’, those are numbers every film studio can only dream about. One studio provided me with a guesstimate that the first film based on the Suzanne Collins bestselling books could open to $70+M — which would make this bigger than the the Twilight debut. “It’s every bit as strong As Twilight and, numerically, stronger,” one rival studio told me this morning. Seasonality may play a factor because The Hunger Games is opening in March, not summer. “But the numbers, while they definitely skew to young females, look strong across all quadrants.” Said another studio: “It’s a great start.”
