Head back to Panem with the home release of ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.’
This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.
After a successful theatrical run, Lionsgate has announced that The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes will be available for purchase via Electronic Sell-Through on January 30, before being launched on Digital and 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack, Blu-ray Combo Pack, and DVD on February 13. The digital version of the film will cost $19.99, while the physical home media packages will cost $42.99, $39.99, and $29.96, respectively. Travel back to the Capitol in a prequel directed by Francis Lawrence, a decade after he first stepped into the world of the Hunger Games franchise.
The home media release for The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes will include plenty of special features upon release, including videos diving deep into the creation of the music sung by Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler) in the film, as well as a featurette focusing on the work behind the makeup and costumes seen in the prequel. President Coriolanus Snows’ (Tom Blyth) origin story shines in a new light, in a variety of behind-the-scenes videos that will allow fans of the franchise to take a look at how the prequel was made. Ten years after the series based on Suzanne Collins‘ novels took the box office by storm, Snow is back, in an intense tale about his youth.
What could be considered the biggest feature in the home media release of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes will be “Predator or Prey: Making The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes,” an 8-part documentary about the making of the movie showing how Lawrence worked alongside Zegler and Blyth to deliver the tense love story between the two lead characters. The documentary will only be available on the 4K UHD and Blu-ray versions of the film. The world of The Hunger Games continues to expand with last year’s prequel focused around the youth of Coriolanus Snow.
