The Hunger Games is coming to Blu-ray and DVD on August 18, and as of today, you can secure your copy via Amazon.com.
For $27.99, Amazon is selling the two-disc Blu-ray edition of The Hunger Games that also includes a digital copy. That price works out to 30 percent off the $39.98 list price, right in line with expectations for a new release.
The Hunger Games is directed by Gary Ross and stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth. To date it has earned $396.2 million at the domestic box office and $636.7 million worldwide. Most years that would be enough to be the top performer, but that honor goes to Marvel’s The Avengers.
