The five original 'Hunger Games' movies are scheduled to screen in theaters from Sept. 3 to Sept. 7. Each screening will include an exclusive preview of the upcoming prequel 'The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping,' set to premiere Nov. 20.
Lionsgate and Fathom Entertainment are bringing the films back as preparation for the new release.
