How Much The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes Cost To Make & What Box Office It Needs

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is eyeing a good opening weekend at the box office, but will its total gross be enough to make back the cost of production? Despite the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes — both of which have now ended following a new deal with the AMPTP — The Hunger Games prequel movie wasn’t delayed as so many others have been. The film, directed by Francis Lawrence and adapted from Suzanne Collins’ book of the same name, has a high quality production value, but it actually cost less to make than three of the previous Hunger Games films.
