Lionsgate announced a sequel film based on Collins' second Hunger Games novel in 2012, with Gary Ross initially set to return as director; Ross was replaced with Lawrence that May, while deBruyn completed several rewrites to Beaufoy's screenplay. The main cast was confirmed by September 2012 and principal photography began later that month, lasting until March 2013. Filming locations included Georgia, Hawaii, and New Jersey.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire premiered at the Odeon Leicester Square in London on November 11, 2013, and was released in the United States on November 22, by Lionsgate. The film, often considered the best in the series, received critical acclaim from critics, with praise for Lawrence's performance, its themes, action sequences, musical score, screenplay, visual effects, and emotional depth. It grossed $865 million, setting the then-records for biggest November opening weekend and the biggest Thanksgiving period box-office totals; it is the highest-grossing Lionsgate and The Hunger Games film, the fifth-highest-grossing film of 2013, and the highest-grossing film featuring a female lead since The Exorcist (1973).
Among its accolades, the film was nominated for the Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for Best Action Film and a Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film. For her performance, Lawrence was nominated for the Empire Award, Broadcast Film Critics Association Award, and Saturn Award for Best Actress. The soundtrack's lead single, "Atlas" by Coldplay, was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media and for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song. The film was followed by its third and final installment in a two-part sequel: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 in 2014 and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 in 2015.
Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark have settled into a life of material comfort but emotional unease back in District 12 following their joint victory in the 74th Hunger Games. Katniss was traumatized from the Games and remains emotionally distant from Peeta. President Snow visits Katniss and reveals that her defiance in the Games has inspired revolts across Panem. To suppress the rebellion, he demands that she and Peeta feign love during the Victory Tour in order to convince the districts that their planned double suicide was an act of romantic love, not of defiance against the Capitol. Snow threatens to destroy District 12 and kill their families and friends if they refuse.
Katniss agrees, but her and Peeta's Victory Tour speeches inadvertently only lead to further unrest across the districts. The two publicly announce their engagement to persuade Panem's citizens of their love, but President Snow remains unconvinced. Upon returning home, Katniss witnesses the brutality of the Capitol's Peacekeepers. Katniss' best friend, Gale Hawthorne, is publicly whipped for trying to intervene in their beating of civilians, leading to a violent confrontation that results in Katniss, Peeta and Haymitch's involvement.
The 75th Hunger Games, the third Quarter Quell, is announced with a twist: tributes will be chosen from the existing pool of victors. As the only living female victor from District 12, Katniss must compete. At the Reaping, Haymitch's name is drawn, but Peeta volunteers for him. To disrupt the Games, Peeta lies during his pre-Games interview, claiming he and Katniss are married and expecting a child, causing an uproar among the Capitol's citizens and demands to cancel the Games. Ordered by Snow, Katniss wears a wedding dress for her interview, which Cinna designs to shift into a Mockingjay symbol, which has become a symbol of defiance against the Capitol. Just before Katniss enters the arena, Cinna is brutally beaten in front of her, before he is later killed for altering the dress.
In the Games, Katniss and Peeta ally with Finnick Odair and Mags from District 4. They face deadly poisonous fog at night; when Peeta is injured, the elderly Mags sacrifices herself so they can escape. They also battle mutated mandrills, during which the female victor from District 6 sacrifices herself to save Peeta's life.
