Summary
Meta’s first Hollywood 3D-conversion deal will bring “The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping” to theaters in 3D, with Lionsgate saying the film will open nationwide on Nov. 20.
Francis Lawrence and DNEG’s Stereo team completed the conversion to make Haymitch Abernathy’s story feel more immersive, extending the theatrical release rather than creating a separate VR-only version.
After theaters, the film will also stream in 3D on Meta VR Glasses when the device launches in spring, with Lionsgate saying more titles and availability details will follow later.
The partnership ties Meta’s new 5K, Imax-enhanced headset push to a franchise that has grossed more than $3.3 billion worldwide across five films.
