This is the opening weekend for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the second movie in The Hunger Games series, based on the popular trilogy of books written by Suzanne Collins. If you haven't seen the first movie or it's been a while, now's a great time to catch up.
Hunger Games Trilogy iBooks
The Hunger Games trilogy was originally a book series found in the Young Adult section of the bookstore. It's a thriller set in a dystopian future, where a new totalitarian government called Panem dominates the North American continent. An annual event called The Hunger Games gathers two dozen children who must fight each other to the death.
Each of the three books in is available for separate purchase, of course, but if you want a crash course in Suzanne Collins' dystopian YA thriller, you can buy them together as The Hunger Games Trilogy. This includes the original Hunger Games, the sequel, Catching Fire, and the conclusion, Mockingjay.
