They are returning!

It´s finally happening! Warner Bros. and Fathom Events are bringing the Lord of the Rings trilogy back to theaters in June 2024, featuring a never-before-seen 4K Ultra HD remaster version. This remastered version, originally released on Blu-ray in 2020, underwent significant enhancements, including a different grading and scanning of the original physical film to enlarge it into 4K. The trilogy will be shown on consecutive days, with "The Fellowship of the Ring" on June 8th, "The Two Towers" on June 9th, and "The Return of the King" on June 10th. While the screenings are announced for theaters in the US, such as AMC, Cinemark, and Regal, the possibility of international releases remains open, sparking hope for fans worldwide.

Have you seen the Lord of the Rings trilogy (Extended Edition) in theaters in your home county?

[@__Ripples__YT]

Have seen extended many many times but not in 4K i cant wait to see them!

Wasn't last years cinema release in Sweden was the remaster?

given Hollywood's lack of appealing releases, this is theater life support

[@annep.1905]

Completely agree. Hollywood, Netflix, Disney... all have put out movies that I wouldn't play for my dog, much less a human being. Angel Studios is about the only company putting out decent stuff these days.

Dune, Oppenheimer, Barbie.. Blockbusters are making somewhat of a comeback, they just need further encouragement to put time and effort into them

Same, it makes sense for it to be included in the author's home country.

[@Googie_DEsigns]

I've already purchased tickets for all three days. It's also going to be in 4DX, which is the motion technology that some theaters have! I cannot wait!!!!

[@MBCGRS]

If this doesn't get shown here in New Zealand. I'm going around to Peter's house and have a stern word with him. And a cuppa probably.

I’m going to see the two towers , gonna be lit . We saw the tickets selling out so fast so we couldn’t plan for all 3 days 😂

[@Panatdia]

Will absolutely cry if it doesn't come to my country 💔

[@haldorax]

0:38 Actually they never re-scanned the original film, this is a misconception as I understand it. What they did is they took the HD extended edition from 2011 and upscaled it to 4K. This becomes quite obvious once you take a closer look at the 4K version; as all of the exposure problems that appear in the extended version (but NOT in the HD theatrical ed.) also appear exactly the same way in the 4K version, something which wouldn't be the case if it was a re-scan of the original film. (Learned this from Jesse Tribble's video on it)

[@MiddleEarthUpdates]

Thank you for this clarification!

[@ketami2]

It's here in the USA at 4 pm. I was so upset because i have to work and then the only theatres showing it are all an hour away. I cannot get there and its such a limited showing....

[@MiddleEarthUpdates]

Damn, that´s not fair...

[@ketami2]

@MiddleEarthUpdates it's not, but I'm hopeful they will release it more times and hopefully in other countries too. Edit: I haven't seen them in theatre since their first release. It never works out.

[@annep.1905]

Huh... you can't call in sick or reschedule? That's over a month away.

[@ketami2]

They changed it! It's still an hour away but now they have 2 showings every night and the other is at 7:30! I can go and see all 3 films! I am so excited!

Didn't the screen the 4k version of Return of the King Extended Edition in theaters last year for its 25th Anniversary?

[@thesockstudios2036]

YESSSSSSSS!

[@amasterofone]

I've been hoping to catch this if it happens! WOOOOOO!

[@benktlofgren4710]

I am waiting for the 8k version to be released at the cinema. 4k is to small an upgrade for a huge cinema screen. I saw them at the Cinema back in the day. Everybody has 4k home nowadays, so streaming it will bring more cash.

[@eb3ast]

got my tickets secured a month early and will be seeing it with dolby atmos too (:

[@TheSlave1Taxi]

They did not rescan the negatives, that is false information. The color grading has been tweaked, but using the original Extended Cut DVD release and upscaled to 4K.

[@OhYahDude]

I bought my tickets for every movie a few days ago. I am ecstatic

[@bryanmatthews2370]

Ya know I love lotr, watch fellowship at least once a week. But I'm not certain I wanna go see it in theaters, again. Saw it like 3 times when it first came out, plus at a theater I can't get high, can't pause to pee, there'll be people there. Watching at home sounds much less stressful

[@yourbestfriend3244]

This actually sounds amazing

I thought they were taking the Hobbits to Isengard to Isengard to Isengard!

Pov every Skyrim remaster announcement

[@fieryphoenix586]

For a minute there, I thought this was announcing that Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin were gonna appear in the series.

[@antonkokic]

Coming to all cinestars in europe?

[@Maroti]

Lord of the Rings returning to cinemas is NEVER a bad thing. BUT! They did NOT rescan the original negatives for the 4K re-release. It’s actually a quite controversial release, still not having the correct color grading from the original release back in the day. Maybe do a disclaimer and edit the description?

[@--..-...-..-.--....]

YES!!!!!🍿🤠🍻

[@Wistbacka]

Why would they only do one showing after all that work? That seems counterproductive.

[@ArtwithElijah]

Only in cinemas? And will it be longer than extended editions?

[@MiddleEarthUpdates]

No, it’s the same extended editions as usual.
