Since then, leading actress Jennifer Lawrence has enjoyed a meteoric rise, winning an Oscar, taking some time off and recently making her first comeback efforts. The “Panem” franchise hasn’t slept in the meantime either: With “The Hunger Games – The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes” the dystopian mixture of science fiction, bitter social commentary, action and young-adult romance will be released in November 2023 a prequel.

This is what awaits you with the Ultimate Collection of the Hunger Games saga.
The four steelbooks have a spine motif that is made up of the mockingjay, and the backs of the steelbooks have a related motif, namely a map of Panem that shows which district is where. The front of the Steelbook, on the other hand, shows atmospheric illustrations of Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss, which differs greatly from the rather boring, previous editions and will undoubtedly be an eye-catcher on the film shelf.
Directed by Gary Ross, the first Hunger Games film and its Francis Lawrence-directed sequels Catching Fire, Mockingjay Part 1 and Mockingjay Part 2 grossed nearly $3 billion at the worldwide box office. Around 14 million admission tickets were sold in Germany alone – So it’s no wonder that the film world based on Suzanne Collins’ best-selling novels is not left to rest.
