The first three films set various records for biggest opening weekends and made a star of Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen, the plucky teenage heroine who becomes an iconic rebel leader.

“The Hunger Games films have captured hearts and minds around the world,” said Kerry Phelan, an executive vice president of Lionsgate, the studio behind the movies.
