Edison Brings “Hunger Games” to Campus 

Edison’s first summer movie day will be hitting campus this Thursday, July 26, with a presentation of the blockbuster “The Hunger Games” in the Edison Theater. 

The PG-13 rated movie will play three times throughout the day, starting at noon, with additional showings at 3 and 6 p.m. Admission is just $1 and there will be free popcorn provided and door prizes given away. 

“This will be a chance for Edison students, faculty, staff and the community to come see it on a big screen before it gets released on DVD and Blu-ray,” said Chip Hare, director of student life and athletics. “This is the start of a series of activities we’ll be having here on campus throughout the year and it’s a great opportunity for Edison to show our appreciation to the community that supports us.” 

Set in the future of a dystopian North America, “The Hunger Games” tells the story of a teenage girl who enters a nationally televised tournament where only one survivor will emerge. The film is based on the best-selling series of books by author Suzanne Collins. 

Next up on the summer movie series will be the blockbuster hit “The Avengers,” on Aug. 18. For more information, go online to www.edisonohio.edu.
