The Hunger Games fans can start pre-ordering the Blu-ray Disc and DVD from May 25th, for $39.99 and $30.98, respectively.

The home entertainment release follows The Hunger Games grossing $392 million at the North American box office to date, and nearing $650 million in worldwide ticket receipts, Lionsgate reported Wednesday.

That’s before an early June theatrical release in China.

Both sets will contain three hours of bonus materials, including an eight-part documentary The World is Watching: Making of The Hunger Games.
