Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy is set to make a comeback to cinemas in June 2024.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. and Fathom Events are joining forces to bring back the beloved fantasy blockbusters this summer.
The movies will be shown in a never-before-seen format in theaters: not only in their extended versions but also in their 4K Ultra HD remastered editions from 2020.
This marks the first time these enhanced editions will hit theatres, promising fans an unforgettable cinematic experience.
Fans can secure their tickets for the screenings at various theatres like AMC, Cinemark, and Regal by visiting the Fathom Events website.
The three-day event will kick off on 8 June with the first movie, 2001's The Fellowship Of The Ring, followed by 2002's The Two Towers on 9 June and 2003's The Return of the King on 10 June.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy is part of a nostalgic trend hitting theaters, with other early 2000s classics making a comeback.
Sony Pictures recently scored big with Spider-Man 2, starring Tobey Maguire, which ranked second at the North American box office, raking in $805,000.
This success has sparked interest in reviving more beloved films.
With Spider-Man 2 being just the second of eight Spider-Man movies to swing back into theatres, it's likely that other companies will follow suit with similar re-releases.
Universal Pictures has already jumped on the bandwagon by bringing Shrek 2 back to cinemas for its 20th anniversary in March 2024.
Disney is also joining the fray, commemorating the 25th anniversary of Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace by returning it to theatres in May.
This year is shaping up to be massive for Lord of the Rings fans! Prime Video's highly anticipated drama series, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, is gearing up for its second season.
While there's no official premiere date yet, it looks like we can expect it to drop sometime in the fall or winter.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy will arrive in theatres in remastered and extended editions on June 8 2024.
