Quick Pick: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2024)

FAQs

Is The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes doing well? ›

On November 17, 2023, “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” was released and was an instant hit. Within 11 days of its release, it reached the $100 million milestone at the domestic box offices. It also grossed $200 million at the global box office.

Is Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes better than Hunger Games? ›

Both The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and The Hunger Games have great casts, but the original movie's lineup is stronger and more memorable. The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes adds depth to the Games, but the original movie sets the foundation for the franchise and kicks off the rebellion.

Does The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes have Katniss in it? ›

Summary. Through a clever namedrop, Katniss Everdeen is in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. Lucy Gray Baird sets up Katniss in many ways throughout The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. The allusions to Katniss tie into theories about who Lucy is related to in the main Hunger Games movies.

What was the point of songbirds and snakes? ›

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is primarily interested in opportunities given and choices made. We see the impact that evil choices have: both those that the world makes around us and those selfish, foul choices that we make ourselves. As such, this prequel is much more focused on philosophy than on allegory.

Is Katniss related to Lucy Gray? ›

Katniss and Lucy Gray are not related beyond their shared District 12 and loving hearts. Fan speculation that the two are related is tantalizing, especially following Lucy Gray's love affair with young Snow. "I've heard that fan theory often. But it's not true," says director Francis Lawrence.

Did Snow love Lucy Gray? ›

Coriolanus Snow genuinely believed he loved Lucy Gray, but his possessive and jealous tendencies cast doubts on the authenticity of his love. Snow's possessiveness extended to other people he loved, such as his cousin Tigris, demonstrating a dangerous and possessive pattern in his relationships.

How old is Lucy Gray in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes? ›

Here are some songs that remind me of Lucy Gray, especially her evolution in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. At only 16 years old, Lucy Gray was reaped and managed to survive the Hunger Games.

Why do people not like the new Hunger Games? ›

Some critics lamented the new movie's lengthy runtime and lack of thrill compared to the first films and argued a prequel was unnecessary, though others applauded the acting.

Why does Lucy Gray have an accent? ›

Lucy Gray's Southern accent in the movie was likely a deliberate choice, adding to the charm and folksy nature of her character in the story. Her accent could be explained by her nomad background, as the Covey group she belongs to may have traveled through more Southern territories before settling in District 12.

Why did Snow dislike Katniss? ›

It's clear that Peeta's feelings for Katniss are true, while Katniss, at least at first, is merely playing along to garner life-saving sponsors for the both of them. Snow can't stand to see a young woman betray a young man's affection—his view of what happened 65 years ago.

Is President Snow Katniss' dad? ›

Hunger Games Theory Suggests Katniss Is President Snow's Granddaughter. Lucy Gray was from District 12 and a member of the Covey, a group of musical performers, but her connections to Katniss seemingly run too deep for them to be a coincidence in the Hunger Games franchise.

Is Katniss related to the Covey? ›

Any relation between Katniss and the Covey is unconfirmed, but similarities in values and personal history are undeniable. The character of Maude Ivory is introduced and revealed to be not only Covey, but Lucy Gray's cousin in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

Why did Coriolanus Snow become evil? ›

President Snow became evil because he's always been driven by the principle that, if a cause is just enough, then anything done in pursuit of it is justified. Unfortunately for the people of Panem, Snow believed the Capitol's dominance of the other districts was among the most just causes of all.

Why did Lucy Gray turn on Coriolanus? ›

While they were walking away from District 12 making their escape, Coriolanus made a comment about having killed three people. Lucy Gray quickly did the math and realized that she had only known about two of them, and that Coriolanus had been lying to her, sowing doubt in her mind about him and their plan.

Why was Lucy Gray reaped? ›

When she was reaped, she slid a snake down Mayor Lipp's daughter, Mayfair Lipp. It turned out that Lucy Gray was purposely reaped by the mayor because Mayfair had a relationship with Lucy Gray's ex-lover, Billy Taupe, and Mayfair did not like this.

What is the problem in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes? ›
