Moving aggressively to claim the lucrative Thanksgiving frame, Lionsgate has dated the final two films in The Hunger Games series for Nov. 21, 2014, and Nov. 20, 2015, The Hollywood Reporter said.

Lionsgate and Summit are splitting Suzanne Collins' third novel The Hunger Games: Mockingjay into two films, much the same as The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn was.

The Hunger Games became an instant big-screen franchise this year, grossing $678.2 million worldwide, including $404.4 million domestically.

The second film, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, opens on Nov. 22, 2013.
