LOS ANGELES (AP) — The final book in ‘‘The Hunger Games’’ trilogy is coming to the big-screen in two parts starting in 2014.
Lionsgate Films announced Tuesday that ‘‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1’’ will be released Nov. 21, 2014, and ‘‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2’’ will follow on Nov. 20, 2015.
The filmmakers are following the lead of two other teen-based literary franchises, ‘‘Harry Potter’’ and ‘‘Twilight,’’ whose final books were broken into two parts for film.
‘‘Mockingjay, Part 1’’ will come out a year after the Nov. 22, 2012, release of ‘‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,’’ the second film based on Suzanne Collins’ novels about televised death matches in a future North American society.
Starring Jennifer Lawrence, ‘‘The Hunger Games’’ debuted last March and has taken in $404 million domestically and $678 million worldwide.
