SM Cinema Announces ‘The Hunger Games’ Release Date for the Philippines, March 21, 2012
SM Cinema, the largest film exhibitor in the Philippines, announced today via their Twitter and Facebook, that The Hunger Games film will be released in the Philippines on March 21, 2012, that’s 2 days before the US release date of the film (March 23, 2012).
Our friends at Hunger Games Philippines have let us know that it is typical for films to debut on a Wednesday in their country, though occasionally they do have a Friday Release (Breaking Dawn). So, this release date falls right in line with that schedule.
The Hunger Games fans in the Philippines are amazing, so we are so excited for them! The odds were definitely in their favor this time!
So, now the question is, who’s up for a road trip?

This is another reason to not live in Norway, it’s to cold here, and the release date is 23
but i heard somewhere that in england it’s the 14 (march), is that true? (because my parents says it’s ok to travel there if i wanna see it there)

LOL now this means that us in the US are going to have to avoid spoilers starting two days before the movie :O But I guess that only fair since a lot of other countries have to try really hard to avoid spoilers when movies come out in the US first.

I hate to tell you but the release date in Australia is March 22 as Thrursday is the new movie day here. So with the time difference we get a two-day jump on the US as well.

In Belgium, movies are usually released on Wednesdays too, but we have to wait until April 11th. I hate this country.

Hi Anjeli, I’m willing to bet that other cinemas — not just SM — will pick it up too by March 21. (*fingers crossed*)
Anyway, nice to “see” some of my countrypeople posting here.

They said that they will make “Four” movies for The Hunger Games.. But there’s only Three books right? so, what will be the Fourth Movie for?

The rumor is they may split Mockingjay. At the moment they have the option to do 4 movies if they would like to, not guarantees at this point.

It just means we’re not going to buy “Pirated Cd’s” anymore to watch the movie first.. LOL

So the official release of the movie is on the 21st, correct? Does that mean the premier night for this movie is on the 20th?
Can someone please clear this up. Thank you!
