"Somehow, it has been almost 25 years since one of the most beloved trilogies of all time arrived in theaters. This would be director Peter Jackson's adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy, both a towering achievement in its own right and one of the handful of cases where a cinematic adaptation of a beloved series actually worked. (Well, mostly, but this is not the place to debate the omission of the Scouring of the Shire from the film adaptations."
"And if you're curious which versions of the films will be screened, Fathom Entertainment CEO Ray Nutt provided some clarification. "As we celebrate the 25-year anniversary of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in 2026, Fathom is proud to join with Warner Bros. to present each of these incredible films, with the extended editions from Peter Jackson and in 4DX for the enjoyment of fans old and new," Nutt said in a statement."
The Lord of the Rings film trilogy will return to theaters in early 2026 for its 25th anniversary, playing over two weekends: January 16–18 and January 23–25. The screenings will feature Peter Jackson’s extended editions presented in 4DX, aiming to enhance the big-screen experience for long-time fans and new viewers. Fathom Entertainment and Warner Bros. are partnering to present these editions. The future of similar theatrical events may be affected by corporate changes, including Netflix’s planned purchase of Warner Bros., with past examples showing varied distribution approaches after streaming releases.
