Hunger Games: Catching Fire

I chose this film because there is a lot to talk about the film as there is many aspects of different genres and has a big studio running the movies.

The production companies are Lionsgate and Color Force and the distributor for the UK is also Lionsgate. Lionsgate is a very famous production company as they have made many other hit films. The company can spend lots of money on these movies as they know that the movie will be a big hit as the other movies were very famous. The fact that Lionsgate is also the distributor also shows that they are a famous company and has distributed many other films to the UK.

The genre of this movie is action and adventure however has aspects of sci-fi. You can tell it fits the genre as there is killing for action and there is survival which shows the adventure in the movie. The fact that they look for food and water also shows that their is a few fantasy aspects as they are on a quest to survive and find the necessary items to survive. There is rebellion in the streets which fits into the action aspect of the movie. This movie is a sequel from the hunger games before this one. Companies spent a lot of money on this movie as they know that the movie before did very well. The movie used the sign of the movies and books, the Mocking Jay  which is also the names of the other the last book. The sign is in all of the movies as in the story it is the sign of the "rebellion" towards the "Capitol." Also the actress Jennifer Lawrence has become very famous due to the Hunger Games films and many people go to watch the other movies she is in which brings business to their companies meaning that lots of people hire her for movies.

The UK release date for the movie was 21st of November 2013. Also the teaser trailer came out on the 17th of April 2013 and the main trailer came out on 21st July 2013. To help marketing there is other marketing strategies such as interviews, there was an interview with Jennifer Lawrence on 11th November 2013. 

The original budget for this film was $130,000,000 however the gross was $864,565,663 which means that it was a very big fit. The fact that the production company Lionsgate got alot of profit means that they would produce the next movie and get a bigger profit since the movie was a big hit.

Since the last movie was very popular and many people were talking about it implies that lots of fans will be talking about the new movies. This helps the producer as they know they will get a profit and they can spend less money on marketing. Lots of social media sites users interact with others and the word of the new movie can go around very rapidly threw mutual friends ETC. Some reviews are " Catching Fire is a great experience" and "Catching Fire is exceptional entertainment" however some people did not enjoy the movie saying " You don't feel the characters" and "This movie couldn' be more borring." This shows that sometimes word of the mouth can also be bad for the produces and they could lose money.

The director of this movie is Francis Lawrence and he was the director of the movie before this one. He is known for directing "I Am Legend" and "Constantine." These movies are not in the same genre as "Catching Fire" because "Constantine" is a horror/drama film and "I Am Legend" is a thriller however has aspects of Sci-Fi. The main star of "Catching Fire" is Jennifer Lawrence who has become very famous do to this series. Since Jennifer has become famous she has starred in X-Men: Apocalypse, American Hustle, Joy and Winters Bone. In American Hustle it says Jennifer's name in the trailer. This movie came out after Catching Fire implying that she has become a big hit and producers want her in many other movies.
