HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY - PART 1 is Most-Anticipated Fall Movie

Coinciding with the conclusion of the Toronto International Film Festival, Fandango asked film fans which movies they're most looking forward to seeing on the big screen from September through November. More than 1,000 fans were surveyed on Fandango and Lionsgate's "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1" was the clear winner. "Mockingjay" debuts in theaters on November 21, and advance tickets will be available for purchase on Fandango onOctober 29.

"It is no surprise that 'Mockingjay' is the clear winner this fall, as 'Catching Fire' was such a crowd-pleaser," said Dave Karger, Chief Correspondent for Fandango. "With the 'Catching Fire' cast and director all returning to the franchise, plus the addition of Julianne Moore, the penultimate 'Hunger Games' film promises to continue the franchise in electrifying fashion."

Fandango fans' top-ten fall movie picks are as follows:

1. "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part I" (Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson)

2. "Gone Girl" (Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike)

3. "Interstellar" (Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway)

4. "The Equalizer" (Denzel Washington, Chloe Grace Moretz)

5. "The Penguins of Madagascar" (voices of Benedict Cumberbatch, John Malkovich)

6. "The Judge" (Robert Downey, Jr. , Robert Duvall)

7. "Dumb and Dumber To" (Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels)

8. "Fury" (Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf)

9. "The Good Lie" (Reese Witherspoon)

10. "Foxcatcher" (Steve Carell, Channing Tatum)

Karger added, "'Gone Girl's' high ranking makes it clear that moviegoers are excited to see the characters from Gillian Flynn's blockbuster novel on the big screen, and the return of Ben Affleck, who is poised for another major moment this fall. 'Interstellar' in third place shows that there is no end to the McConaissance and that fans of director Christopher Nolan cannot wait to see his next grand-scale production."
