Lionsgate and Meta have partnered to convert 'The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping' into 3D, marking Meta's first collaboration with a Hollywood studio on such a conversion. The film, directed by Francis Lawrence, will be available in 3D in theaters on November 20 and later on Meta's VR glasses in spring 2027. The 3D conversion was done in collaboration with DNEG, an Oscar-winning visual effects studio. This partnership aims to provide audiences with a fresh, immersive experience of the film, both in theaters and at home.
Jim Packer, Lionsgate's Chief Revenue Officer, expressed excitement about the collaboration, highlighting its potential to transform existing formats and create new experiences. The film, a prequel to the main Hunger Games series, stars Joseph Zada as a younger Haymitch Abernathy, a character originally portrayed by Woody Harrelson. The Hunger Games franchise has grossed over $3.3 billion globally across its films, stage productions, and theme park attractions.
