No 'Mockingjay Part 2' in 3D For American Theaters - 2D & 2D IMAX Only

Lionsgate has decided to release The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 in 2D and IMAX 2D formats only in America. They announced back in February that they would release the fourth and final chapter of the saga in 3D and IMAX 3D along with the traditional 2D release. This coincided with the decision to release Mockingjay Part 1 in 3D for the Chinese market, as well as the decision to release Mockingjay Part 2 in 3D in overseas markets. That plan has been altered. The film will still go out in 3D in China and the rest of the world, but the Hunger Games finale will be released in American theatres on November 20th, 2015 in old-school 2D.

The decision was made to maintain the relative consistency of the franchise, with the prior three films going out strictly as 2D.

Director Francis Lawrence discussed the decision, stating:

“I love the 3D format and I know that Mockingjay Part 2 will play perfectly in 3D and 2D internationally – but I’m pleased that we’re maintaining the 2D only (and IMAX) formats domestically. It is the best of all worlds!”

I'm sure some of you American fans were excited to see Mockingjay Part 2 in 3D but I have to say that I'm secretly glad. I'm just not a fan of 3D and wouldn't have watched in that format anyway. There are just some scenes I don't want to see in 3D! Bring on 2D IMAX.

#Unite - The 'Mockingjay Part 2' Teaser Trailer is finally Here!

Hooray! At long last, the Mockingjay Part 2 trailer is here! #UNITE

The gorgeous teaser trailer (doesn't it look beautiful?!) has so much of what we wanted...and MORE! They packed so many important moments into 1:45. Finnick and Annie's wedding, emotional Everlark, President Snow in the mansion, the HOVERCRAFT, even showing a pod in the Capitol and the black wave of goo?! 

Ladies and gentlemen, let the 76th Hunger Games begin! 

In addition to the trailer, there's a new Hunger Games portal that lauched today at thehungergames.movie. It looks to be a replacement for TheHungerGamesExplorer.com. 

See screencaps from the Mockingjay Part 2 teaser trailer in our gallery here. FYI, he music used in the trailer is "For All Humanity" by Twelve Titans. 

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 opens on November 20.

Tomorrow We UNITE!

Tomorrow, Tuesday, June 9th, we #Unite for something special from Mockingjay Part 2!

Members of the entertainment press received this message today via email:

And then a few hours later, a locked mystery box arrived at the offices of many of the entertainment news outlets. This one is from Mashable:

Inside was a cryptic message about "the Revolution"; a link to a couple of sites,TheCapitol.PN and The Resistance.PN; a chunk of the crumbled statue of President Snow; a black Mockingjay pin; and a USB. 

It looks like the Mockingjay Part 2 trailer will be landing on Revolution.pn tomorrow! At the very least, we better keep our eyes on the site for something new to be revealed there. 

The cast and crew have been tweeting throughout the day as well, including this photo of director Francis Lawrence from The Hunger Games official Facebook, twitter, instagram:

 #MockingjayPart2 director Francis Lawrence (@Hibbits) wants to know: Are you ready to #Unite TOMORROW?

Get ready, tributes. Get a good night's sleep, eat a healthy breakfast and remember to hydrate, for tomorrow we UNITE! We don't know exactly when (think 9:00am PT, though) but we'll update as soon as it's official. 

Thanks to @JLDlite from Mashable and @ErikDavis from Fandango for the heads up.
