Here's a question or the start of a very bad riddle: what do Thanksgiving and The Hunger Games franchise have in common? If you answered family and fights over food, you're certainly right but are also forgetting one crucial detail: they both occur the fourth week of November.
Lionsgate, the studio behind The Hunger Games, recently announced that the series' third and final installation Mockingjay will be split into two parts and will premiere November 21, 2014 and November 20, 2015. Has splitting the finales of movies and TV shows into two separate parts become the norm? Should I be less upset at Breaking Bad for doing so?
Thanksgiving weekend of 2013 (November 22, to be exact) is also when Catching Fire, the second book in the trilogy, hits theaters and Katniss, our trilogy's heroine, once again hits the arena.
Notable actors such as Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jena Malone have signed onto Catching Fire, thanks to the immense popularity of the movie. Which just begs the question: what's going to keep fans going until Catching Fire is released a little more than a year from today? Probably bread jokes.
