In it, the cast picked tributes to fight to the death.&amp;#xA0;\r\nNew Weekend Update anchor, Cecily Strong, dressed as Jennifer Lawrence&amp;apos;s Katniss Everdeen, side braid and all, and Bobby Moynihan (of Drunk Uncle fame) played her challenger.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nKate McKinnon played a hysterical Hunger Games superfan who dressed as Elizabeth Banks&amp;apos; Effie Trinket in head-to-toe Capitol Couture.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nHutcherson clearly enjoyed the skit and even poked fun at his own character, Peeta Mellark, who is often criticized for being the series&amp;apos; damsel in distress.&amp;#xA0;\r\n&amp;quot;You guys probably most know me from the Hunger Games. I play Peeta, the brave young hero who immediately gets hurt and has to be carried around for the rest of the movie,&amp;quot; he said.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nHutcherson has plenty to celebrate. Catching Fires officially hit theaters Friday, Nov. 22 raking in $135 million total in both domestic and worldwide sales from its opening day, and the sequel is predicted to have one of the biggest November openings ever.&amp;#xA0;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
