Questions

What is the first Hunger Games movie in chronological order?

The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. It follows a young Coriolanus Snow during the 10th Hunger Games, 64 years before Katniss.

Where does Sunrise on the Reaping fit in the timeline?

Between The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes and The Hunger Games. It is set during the 50th Hunger Games, when Haymitch Abernathy is a tribute. It opens in theaters on November 20, 2026.

Should I watch the Hunger Games in release order or chronological order?

Release order starts with Katniss and saves the prequels for later, which is how most people first saw them. Chronological order works well on a rewatch, because the prequels add weight to Snow and Haymitch.
