Lionsgate's "The Hunger Games" has become an (as expected) monster hit, so it's no surprise that the studio is returning the film to IMAX theaters for another limited run on the giant screen. The film received a similarly limited IMAX run in its first week, racking up $13.2 million in ticket sales just from IMAX theaters alone (the film has currently grossed $533 million worldwide)

The film will return to IMAX screens on April 27, with the run completing on May 3. The film will play in over 100 IMAX theaters across North America, and will likely continue to pull in the dough for the film. Though not shot on IMAX cameras, the film has been digitally re-mastered to have IMAX quality image and sound. And, well, it's big!

It looks as if Lionsgate and IMAX are going for repeat customers when it comes to these IMAX viewings, releasing a new poster today that clearly says "EXPERIENCE IT AGAIN" and remarking on bringing back in fans of the film for more. Lionsgate’s Motion Picture Group Co-Chair Rob Friedman said, “It’s wonderful that so many fans have expressed interest in seeing The Hunger Games in the immersive IMAX format, and many of these are repeat viewers...We're delighted that IMAX has been able to accommodate them through this special one week re-engagement.”

Are you a fan of the film? Did you see it in IMAX? Will you see it in IMAX now?

滬江娛樂快訊：雖然本周單周的全球票房“大船”《泰坦尼克號》洶涌奪冠，不過獅門影業(yè)的《饑餓游戲》依舊堅(jiān)挺地處在第3名的位置，賺盡了眼球。來到第四個周末，《饑餓游戲》的累計票房依舊是全球第一，達(dá)到了5.3億美元(準(zhǔn)確數(shù)字為$530,666,363)。這是在《阿凡達(dá)》和《蝙蝠俠前傳2：黑暗騎士》之后，首部擁有此等成績的影片。

對于這樣的好成績，獅門決定，將這部由加里·羅斯小說改編的影片進(jìn)行IMAX重映：從北美時間4月27日起，《饑餓游戲》將進(jìn)行為期一周IMAX版本限定放映。除了時間，這次參與重映的IMAX影院也是經(jīng)過篩選的，全美只有100家IMAX影院參與。獅門還發(fā)布了一幅特別版海報，來宣傳此次活動。

最初，《饑餓游戲》并未確定上映IMAX版，不過在距離上映還有50天時，獅門突然宣布，影片將在3月23日影片公映時起，于IMAX影院同步上映一周，雖然影片并不是以IMAX的方式拍攝，但卻經(jīng)過數(shù)字轉(zhuǎn)制成巨幕格式。IMAX重映這樣的限定活動，自2007年的《變形金剛》開始，在《阿凡達(dá)》、《盜夢空間》、《黑暗騎士》、《變形金剛3》等火爆影片身上都發(fā)生過。不過《饑餓游戲》卻是首部獲得重映的青少年題材影片。獅門也憑借它的好成績，重回公眾視野，好萊塢影業(yè)公司的勢力格局將重新洗牌。

如此猛烈的效應(yīng)使得《饑餓游戲》成為今年十分值得關(guān)注的現(xiàn)象級影片，火爆程度直追《暮色》系列。其續(xù)集《火星燎原》已經(jīng)在物色導(dǎo)演，計劃在今年8月開拍，詹妮弗·勞倫斯將繼續(xù)領(lǐng)銜主演?！娥囸I游戲》也有望引進(jìn)中國內(nèi)地。
