Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy is coming back again — but it’s a bit different this time.
Warner Bros. and Fathom Events are teaming to rerelease the Oscar-winning fantasy blockbusters this summer.
The versions screened will be Jackson’s extended editions (so you might want get the jumbo tub of popcorn), and also the versions that the filmmaker remastered in 2020 for a 4K Ultra HD rerelease.
The films will screen across three days at Fathom Events participating chains, like AMC, Cinemark and Regal.
The screenings will start with 2001’s The Fellowship of the Ring on June 8, then 2002’s The Two Towers on June 9, followed by 2003’s The Return of the King on June 10.
Tickets are now up on the Fathom Events site.
This year will be a big one for LOTR fans. Prime Video’s drama series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is expected to release its second season. There’s no official premiere date yet, but a fall or winter release seems likely.
Also, there’s Warner Bros.’ upcoming anime film, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, which tells the story of Helm Hammerhand, King of Rohan (of Helm’s Deep fame) who ruled over 250 years prior to the events of The Lord of the Rings. The new film is set in the same universe as Jackson’s trilogy, with Mirando Otto returning to voice Éowyn. The War of the Rohirrim is being released Dec. 13.
