‘Hunger Games’ entertainment center in Hengqin

Hunger Games” fans in the U.S. and China may get to find out for themselves if the odds are forever in their favor. Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. confirmed on Monday that the blockbuster movie franchise has been licensed for development into a theme park in Atlanta, and an indoor entertainment center in the neighboring island of Hengqin.
The New York Times, which earlier reported the news, said that the Atlanta park is targeted to open by 2019, while the Chinese center aims to open by late 2018.
Fans are already able to interact with the story featuring heroine Katniss Everdeen through attractions such as the traveling display “The Hunger Games: The Exhibition,” which is now exhibiting in Discovery Times Square, New York. An immersive theatrical show is to open in London next summer, and a theme park featuring a “Hunger Games” zone is planned to debut in Dubai late next year.
The franchise’s finale, “Mockingjay Part 2,” is set to hit the big screen this month.
