'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1' Trailer Will Premiere At Comic-Con And Select Best Buys
Don't worry fans, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 is in fact coming to San Diego Comic-Con. It's just also coming to a mobile device near you, and your local Best Buy, all at the same time.
While the film won't be presented in Hall H (probably because the cast has been filming for six months straight) it will have a presence both on the show floor and outside. The highlight is the first full trailer for the film, which opens November 21, will premiere Friday July 25 at the Samsung Experience outside the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego. If you aren't at the event though, you can head to select Best Buys on July 26 to see the trailer and enter for a chance to get free tickets. It'll probably end up online too.
