Probably because Minecraft and Hunger Games are similar in that they are both consumed by teenie boppers

Yeah, theres been a lot of hype lately about this movie. There are a lot of middle school girls right now acting like "ZOMG THE HUNGER GAMES MOVIE IS COMING OUT, I HAVE TO DRESS UP LIKE THE CHARACTERS ZOMGOMGGOMGO".
The writer says she hadn't heard of Battle Royale when she wrote The Hunger Games.
if she had, then the premise probably would have made sense

why is on every other sever ad I see there its a hunger games sever or has an arena?
I know the movie came out and all, but why is it so popular?
The Hunger Games originated as a really good book series that then became a (potentially) really good film. I haven't seen it yet but people have a tendency to overindulge in whatever is popular at any time.

Through the darkness of future past, the magician longs to see.

It's easy to recreate a Hunger Games game in minecraft. A minecraft world would be a good Hunger Games arena... forests, deserts, monsters. You can have a big area, some chests in the middle filled with food and weapons, and about 24 honest players who will leave the game if they die It's actually fun.
Great series, I had always dreamed of setting up an arena serving based on the hunger games. But now:
1. Most people are idiots who don't have the time or won't read them.
2. A movie is easier and shorter.
3. More publicity (in theory) if you put a popular movie's name in your arena server.

Also a lot of younger people play minecraft.
I'll quote some other guy who had the answer:
Want the blight town experience? pay someone to throw rocks at you as you tightrope across two buildings.
Want the sens fortress experience? pay someone to throw rocks at you as you tightrope across two buildings.
Want the anor londo experience? pay someone to throw rocks at you as you tightrope across two buildings.
2. I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Amen to that!
I can see this happening. I've seen a few plugins that bring it close.

2. A movie is easier and shorter.
3. More publicity (in theory) if you put a popular movie's name in your arena server.
