As we reported previously, “The Hunger Games” is being reformatted before it ever hits theaters on March 23rd … so it can hit IMAX theaters at the same time. The movie will debut in IMAX theaters on the same date and have a one week run. Check out the new IMAX poster below, and let us know if you’ll be ponying up the extra bucks for a truly big-screen experience.

Official Synopsis: Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. Part twisted entertainment, part government intimidation tactic, the Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains.
.
Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
