Lionsgate and Meta have announced the first-ever theatrical partnership between a Hollywood studio and the technology giant, converting the upcoming Hunger Games prequel The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping into 3D for its theatrical debut on November 20, 2026. The 3D conversion was carried out by DNEG, the Oscar-winning visual effects studio with over 15 years of experience in stereoscopic conversion, in close collaboration with director Francis Lawrence. The film is a prequel set during the 50th Hunger Games, adapted from Suzanne Collins's novel. Meta will also make the 3D experience available on its forthcoming VR glasses when the device launches in spring 2027, priced at $1,299. Tickets are already on sale globally. The partnership represents a landmark moment in the relationship between the entertainment industry and tech companies, with Meta moving beyond social media into immersive cinema experiences. The deal also signals growing confidence in 3D as a theatrical premium format after years of decline following its early-2010s peak.
