Roadshow Entertainment can today announce that Australia will be the first territory in the world to release The Hunger Games on DVD and Blu-ray, now confirmed for Friday 17 August.
The DVD will be released in a 2-disc edition, containing hours of additional features and never-before-seen footage. The Blu-ray edition will be a 3-disc ‘Double Play’, and include content additional to the DVD as well as a digital copy to enable fans to view the movie on portable devices.
Since opening in cinemas nearly ten weeks ago, The Hunger Games has taken more than $30 million domestically, and almost $650 million worldwide, making it the second biggest release in the past 12 months. The film, based on the New York Times best-selling novel from writer Suzanne Collins, achieved a remarkable four-week run as the #1 film at the US theatrical box office, and the trilogy of books published by Scholastic has become a literary phenomenon with over 36.5 million copies in circulation.
I truly saw the real meaning of the HUNGER GAMES… WHILE WATCHING THIS TRUE MASTERPIECE. I KEPT THINKING HOW CAN THE RICH PEOPLE THINK IT IS OKAY…. THEN I LOOKED AT OUR OWN WORLD.. YES GOVERNMENT SPENDING ON STUPID UNNECESSARY STUFF, PROMOTIONS, TRANSPORT DIASTERS, POLLS AND VOTING ADVERTS… AND THEN THE TRUTH HIT… WE ARE LIVING IN THE SAME TIMES AS THE HUNGER GAMES MOVIE…. WE LET POOR COUNTRIES HUNT AND SEARCH FOR FOOD THAT DOES NOT EXIST.. WHILE WE AS A WESTERN COUNTRY…. HAVE OBESE PEOPLE , WHO EAT MORE THAN THEY NEED WHILE OTHERS STARVE… I KNOW CALL THE HUNGER GAMES…. WITH SHARING COMES CARING… A POSITIVE WAY TO LIVE, LETTING GOVERNMENTS KNOW THAT 1% of commitment to poor countries, is disgusting…… WAKE UP TO ALL THOSE GOVERNMENTS WASTING MONEY ON CHASING THE WIND……
