A major Hollywood studio in charge of one of the most explosive action franchises is facing equally explosive pushback. But it's got nothing to do with any of the movies themselves. Rather, Lions Gate Entertainment Corp.

In 2012, The Hunger Games franchise introduced young adult audiences to the dystopian world of Panem, an alternate version of North America way in the future after society collapses, which might be sooner than we think after the sudden dissolution of Bennifer.

Entertainment giants Lionsgate are partnering with artificial intelligence (AI) company Runway to allow a new AI model to be trained on their extensive film and TV archive. Lionsgate, the studios behind series such as The Hunger Games and John Wick, will benefit by being able to use the resulting AI technology in future productions.
