'Hunger Games' likely to continue B.O. killing
For a short time last year, Warner's planned for the "Titans" sequel to go head-to-head with"Hunger Games." When buzz for the Lionsgate pic grew, Warner ultimately moved "Wrath" back a week. Wrath of The Titans claims to be nipping at the heels of 'Hunger Games" but other studios took several titles out of the way months ago when they saw "Hunger" on the horizon. With "Wrath of The Titans" up next do you think B.O. sales will shift?
What 'The Hunger Games' Movie had that the book did not

Going into the movie I was concerned with how they would portray Katniss without her seeming cold. In the first book her inner thoughts really give an in depth sense to her character and why she does the things she does, but in the movie, none of those inner thoughts would be there. I think they did an overall good job explaining the game as well as developing Katniss into an empowering, sensitive, and vulnerable girl.
I have had many conversations the past few days about what the book had that the movie didn't. Whether or not the movie held true to the book well enough and if it really worked. In the end though, every one I have talked to enjoyed the movie and thought it did a better job as an adaptation than many other book to movie films.
But a conversation I have not had yet was what the movie had that the book did not. There were many adaptations that helped move the story along and really worked. This article includes many of the scenes that were only in the movie.
