The Hunger Games鈥 has already taken over bestseller lists and the multiplex. Now 鈥 a theme park?

Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer said the company, which is behind 鈥淭he Hunger Games鈥 movies, had received overtures about creating a theme park based around the hit franchise.

鈥淲e have been approached in two different territories about potential theme park opportunities, which gives you a sense of the cultural impact of this franchise,鈥 he said, according to the . 鈥淲e are excited about those opportunities and are pursuing them.鈥

Will 鈥淗unger Games鈥 fans soon be able to experience Collins鈥 world for themselves? The literary world will have to wait and see.
