Hunger Games Movie Marathons Hit Metro Phoenix This Week

All right, all you Tributes and Panemaniacs, we know you're freaking out right now. You have a right to be. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part I is coming to theaters Friday, November 21, and it is a big deal. But in all this excitement, don't forget to make plans to actually go see it.

A couple Valley theaters have your back and are offering more than just a few midnight showings on Thursday, November 20, the night before the new movie is released nationwide. If you want to commit your entire day to Katniss, Peeta, and Gale's efforts to take down the Capitol, several Harkins and AMC locations are hosting Hunger Games marathons. You can start back at the beginning to volunteer with Katniss in The Hunger Games, get caught up in the evil, yet genius construction of the Quarter Quell in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, and see The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part I before the rest of the country.
