Lord of the Rings’ Extended Editions Return to Theaters for 25th Anniversary in January 2026

The run comes with a new anniversary trailer, refreshed branding, plus limited‑edition concessions at participating theaters.

Overview

  • Fathom Entertainment and Warner Bros. will present the extended trilogy over two weekends, with D‑BOX showings Jan. 16–19 and standard formats Jan. 23–25, 2026.
  • Immersive motion seating is available only during the first weekend’s D‑BOX engagements.
  • Tickets are on sale now, with the trilogy scheduled across separate days rather than single‑day marathons.
  • Select AMC locations will sell collectible map‑themed popcorn vessels, while Regal and independent cinemas will offer One Ring designs.
  • The event follows a 2024 4K theatrical rerelease and spotlights the longer cuts, which total roughly 11½ hours.
