I saw Alien when it had a 40th(?) anniversary run in the theaters and that was cool since I was only 2 years old when it came out. Several movies from the 80s like Labyrinth were fun to see in the theater decades later. Great movies returning to theaters long after their first run is pretty fucking awesome.
I never saw the hunger games ones though so I don't really care, but good for those that liked them getting a chance to see them on the big screen again.
I won't deny that the theater experience is different than watching it at home. I remember watching revenge of the sith in theaters when it came out and it was an amazing experience.
I'm simply pointing out that it's a cheap gimmick to make money off of things that have been out for years.
The movie industry is a multi-billion dollar industry yet they just recycle the same shit over and over.
