In brief
Paris Filmes is re-releasing all five existing Hunger Games movies in Brazilian cinemas starting October 15, 2026. The marathon runs ahead of the new prequel "The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping," which opens in Brazil on November 19.
Paris Filmes, the Brazilian distributor of the Hunger Games franchise, has brought all five existing films in the saga back to theaters across Brazil starting October 15, 2026, according to Ingresso.com and Terra. The re-release works as a lead-up to the newest installment in the franchise.
The returning lineup covers the full saga released so far: "The Hunger Games" (2012), "Catching Fire" (2013), "Mockingjay – Part 1" (2014), "Mockingjay – Part 2" (2015) and the prequel "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" (2023), according to Terra and Ingresso.com.
Why now: a new prequel is coming
The theatrical marathon is timed to build anticipation for "The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping," which premieres in Brazilian theaters on November 19, 2026, with preview screenings on November 18, according to Ingresso.com. Pre-sale tickets for the new film open on October 15 through Ingresso.com's website and app, the outlet reported.
Directed by Francis Lawrence and based on Suzanne Collins' novel released in early 2025, "Sunrise on the Reaping" is set 24 years before the original 2012 film. It follows a young Haymitch Abernathy as he is forced to compete in the 50th Hunger Games, an edition in which each district sends double the usual number of tributes, according to Ingresso.com and Omelete.
The cast includes Joseph Zada as Haymitch, Ralph Fiennes as President Snow, Jesse Plemons as Plutarch Heavensbee, and Elle Fanning, according to Ingresso.com and Terra. Omelete reports the film will run 2 hours and 38 minutes, making it the longest entry in the franchise.
What audiences get during the marathon
Each screening in the re-release will include exclusive, previously unreleased content featuring cast members of "Sunrise on the Reaping" before the film starts, according to Terra and Papo de Cinema. The material gives fans updates on the new installment while they revisit the five earlier movies.
Neither Ingresso.com, Terra nor Papo de Cinema specified which theater chains, cities or formats (such as IMAX or 3D) are participating in the re-release, or how many screens are showing the marathon.
