1) The film studio behind my chosen film is Lionsgate and color force.

2) The distributor for the theatrical release of the hunger games in the uk is Lionsgate Home Entertainment.



No brand loyalty
1) The genres that my movie would fit into would be Science Fiction.

2) You can tell that the hunger games: catching fire fits in to science fiction as it is based in the future and the setting(spaceship) and props involved in the trailer are not ones from our generation.

3) The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is a sequel as it is the second movie of hunger games after the original and now there is a third; mocking-jay part 1 .

3a) The film uses the original movie in it's marketing as the people who loved the first movie are now going to see the second one therefore it doesn't need as much advertisement.



It’s all a matter of timing
1)The UK release date for Hunger Games: Catching Fire was the 11th of November in 2013.

2) The first trailer of Hunger Games: Catching Fire was on YouTube on the 14th of April in 2013. 

3) 



It’s a social thing
1) The word of mouth was probably very strong as there had been a previous hunger game before this one so it had to live up to the standards of the first one.

2) Smart, smoothly directed, and enriched with a deeper exploration of the franchise's thought-provoking themes, Catching Fire proves a thoroughly compelling second installment in the Hunger Games series..
