The Hollywood Reporter confirms that IMAX will release The Hunger Games: Catching Fire on their screens when the sequel is released on Novemeber 22nd, next year. Despite the fact that it wasn't filmed in the format, Lionsgate had no trouble selling out IMAX showings of The Hunger Games back in March, so it comes as no surprise that they will once again take advantage of the format. The best part about this news however is that director Francis Lawrence is planning to actually shoot parts of the film using IMAX cameras and the rest of the film will also be digitally remastered for the format. "We are thrilled to continue the productive partnership we enjoyed with Imax on the first installment of The Hunger Games," said Lionsgate motion picture group co-chairs Rob Friedman and Patrick Wachsberger in a statement released today.
