ABC Family Acquires the Right to "Hunger Games"

If you love watching the Harry Potter Weekend and Twilight marathons, we will soon be able to have Hunger Games Weekends! ABC Family has acquired the rights to the movie.

"ABC Family has acquired the rights to Lionsgate’s seeming blockbuster-to-be, Broadcasting & Cable reports. The deal will give the cable outlet rights to air the movie 30 months after its theatrical release, which would place the first airing of the movie sometime in the latter half of 2014
ABC Family declined to confirm the “Hunger Games” deal to TheWrap.
The cable outlet appears to be getting into the habit of acquiring blockbusters targeted at its young audience. “The Hunger Games” follows ABC Family’s acquisition of the two-part “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.”
