Lionsgate Brings All Five Hunger Games Films Back to Theaters in September

The weeklong Fathom‑partnered run is meant to refresh longtime fans, introduce new viewers, offer exclusive previews, build momentum for the Nov. 20 Haymitch prequel.

Overview

  • Lionsgate and Fathom confirmed a limited theatrical engagement for all five existing Hunger Games films running Sept. 3–7 with tickets on sale in North America.
  • Each day will spotlight one movie in this schedule: Sept. 3 The Hunger Games, Sept. 4 Catching Fire, Sept. 5 Mockingjay — Part 1, Sept. 6 Mockingjay — Part 2, and Sept. 7 The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.
  • Every screening will include an exclusive theatrical preview of The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, which remains on track to open in theaters on Nov. 20, 2026.
  • The prequel centers on a young Haymitch Abernathy with Joseph Zada starring and Francis Lawrence returning as director, and the rerelease is being pitched as both nostalgia and audience‑building.
  • Studios increasingly use short theatrical marathons to boost awareness ahead of major releases, and Lionsgate’s move could raise box office and streaming interest while international exhibition plans remain unannounced.
