'Hunger Games Mockingjay' Movie News: Jennifer Lawrence's Franchise Named By Forbes To Be Biggest Of 2014 [VIDEO]
It seems like the power of Jennifer Lawrence will continue to go with the release of her next movie in the series that burst her onto the scene. But how much money will the next Hunger Games movie end up making?
Forbes released a list on Wednesday of the movies that are predicted to make the biggest business in 2014 and Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 led the list with an otherworldly amount of money.
According to the site, the first two Hunger Games movies brought in $1.5 billion at the global box office so it's no wonder Lionsgate split the third book into two films. Mockingjay will be very different from the last two Hunger Games films. There are no more games. If fans stay on for the rest of the ride, the franchise is poised to to do close to $4 billion in business.

It would seem likely as the last movie, Catching Fire, was 2013's biggest box office movie and Mockingjay looks to only build off of what that film started.
Mockingjay: Part 1 follows Katniss as she leads the districts of Panem in a rebellion against the tyrannical and corrupt Capitol. As the war that will determine the fate of Panem escalates, Katniss must decipher for herself who she can trust and what needs to be done, with everything she cares for in the balance.
The film is directed by Francis Lawrence from a script by Danny Strong. The film stars Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, Jena Malone, Donald Sutherland, Jeffrey Wright, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Philip Syemour Hoffman, Stanley Tucci and Sam Claflin. It also introduces Julianne Moore as President Coin.
Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 will be released in theaters on Nov. 21 followed by part 2, which opens in 2015.
