The first installment of the final book in the series is scheduled for a November release.
As the summer blockbuster season eases towards a close, the promotional cycle for the holiday blockbuster season begins to kick off. This season won't likely see a bigger release than the third film based on the popular The Hunger Gamesbook franchise, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1.
The film takes off where The Hunger Games: Catching Fire left off, with Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss Everdeen inside District 13 after managing to destroy the Games. The film employs the tactic recently employed by the final film in the Harry Potter franchise along with The Hobbit of stretching out a single book into several movies, with the second final part of Mockinjay being released in November 2015.
