The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes is continuing its very smart marketing plan of using in-universe videos that are essentially propaganda in the lead-up to the film This one is another news report that is telling the public that the reports of a rabies outbreak are untrue and that if there is anything[...]

Lionsgate is sitting pretty right now after Saw X was not only a critical but commercial success as well, but they have another big franchise movie coming up soon. The Hunger Games is one of the biggest franchises that Lionsgate has, but November is a hectic time of month, and no matter how big the fandom for[...]

It sounds like The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes is carefully trying to walk that line The creative team knows that they are asking a lot of fans to even come to a movie that has virtually nothing to do with the previous film, with producer Nina Jacobson saying to Entertainment Weekly, "Katniss[...]

Lionsgate is gearing up to hopefully have another hit with The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes The first four movies are some of the biggest films the studio has ever put out, and while they were released to diminishing box office and critical reception as the series came to a close, they weren't[...]

We've previously mentioned that The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes has the kind of natural buzz that other studios dream of, with the movies and books going viral on TikTok earlier this year However, the strikes must be ruining some of that momentum, and Lionsgate is now looking for other ways to promote[...]
