Lionsgate needs to try and get some other franchises going. They lean a bit much on the ones they already have.
fading popularity and no Jenifer Lawrence to flagship this... It will be a hard sell unless they get the new super popular girl on the block
i don't imagine many people are pining to return to that world. but i understand i'm not "people" so who knows
IMO hunger games was a very zeitgeisty early mid 2010s kind of thing
The novel was meh. Snow's POV adds nothing cause he's a heartless bastard throughout the book which....we already knew so what was the point? To see a young dictator have teen angst?

My guess is they want to do one movie at first to test the waters and see if people are actually decently excited for new Hunger Games movies, since it's been a long while and the series was already starting to decline by the time the original series of films was released.
I really don't see the point in a prequel especially with the same character but younger, he isn't interesting and neither are the games or the struggle that we know the conclusion of and generally how it goes in each sector.
I preferred the books to the films as there was a bit more to the character interactions and my imagination made more of it than the films did.

That was kind of how I remembered it. I recall Hunger Games and Catching Fire being huge at the box office but Mockingjay parts fizzled out. Also, those movies came out when it was trendy to adapt YA novels to the big screen. That's not really a popular thing to do as much anymore.
