Summary The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes reveals that a different Hunger Games prequel should have been made. Based on the 2020 Suzanne Collins novel of the same name, the film launches audiences back to 64 years before 2012’s The Hunger Games. Itchronicles the story of a young Coriolanus Snow — later to become the infamous President Snow — as he helps mentor District 12 firecracker Lucy Gray Baird for the 10th annual Hunger Games.
1 The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes' Box Office Is A Hunger Games Franchise Low The Film Made $337.3 Million At The Box Office The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes ended up grossing $337.3 million worldwide. Made on a budget of an estimated $100 million, this total was considered respectable for the film. Bringing home over three times its budget, Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes almost certainly turned a profit.
Portraying Coriolanus Snow was a pretty unavoidable fate for the Songbirds & Snakes creators, given their priorities. Director Francis Lawrence and producer Nina Jacobson have both previously stated that the making of any Hunger Games film hinges on a story being written by author Collins. The President Snow origin story was the novel that Collins wrote, so as such, it was the material that the Hunger Games team had to work with to keep their commitment of faithfulness to Collins’ world.
Because of how his life has fallen apart since his Hunger Games victory, Haymitch could be a great parable for the disaster that the Hunger Games can cause. His story also takes place 24 years before the events of The Hunger Games. For a prequel, this would allow enough time for there to be distance from the main story while still chronicling the story of a major character whose journey is a lot easier to empathize with.
