The versions screened will be Jacksons 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. This is the first time the remastered versions will be in theaters.
The films will screen across three days at Fathom Events participating chains, like AMC, Cinemark and Regal.
The screenings will start with 2001s The Fellowship of the Ring on June 8, then 2002s The Two Towers on June 9, followed by 2003s The Return of the King on June 10.
Tickets are now up on the Fathom Events site.

Film exec A: Hey, have you seen what's happening in the video game industry? They literally just release the same game again and people just buy it again!Eh Disney was doing that shit before the game industry.
Film exec B: You mean like like the Fast and the Furious?
Film exec A: No, literally the same game.
Film exec B: You mean like a remake?
Film exec A: No! LITERALLY literally the same game.
Film exec B: I don't understand.
Film exec A: I don't either but they're making shitloads of money. Do you still have your Lord of the Rings reel?
i'm def down to watch but, what about them really needed to be remastered in the first place?
Wonder if they'll use the eagles this time.https://youtu.be/1-Uz0LMbWpI
Eh Disney was doing that shit before the game industry.The entire movie industry did that before television came along.
https://youtu.be/1-Uz0LMbWpIThis is the best answer.
I really wish they spaced these out over multiple weekends, no way can I abandon my family for that long in one go.Yeah I'm not going to the movie theater three nights in a row.
This is the best answer.It caught on because the Eagles are basically totally unchallenged in the series.
But also, the books and movies make a point of driving home how important it is that they move secretly and avoid being detected by Sauron as they move through Mordor. How the idea EVER caught on that giant birds flying in the open sky would be a good idea is beyond me.

My controversial hot take is that the theatrical versions were better than the extended editions.
Too long, too many scenes that slowed the pacing down just for the sake of giving a nod to book readers, etc.
Eh Disney was doing that shit before the game industry.This. Even as a kid I thought the Disney Vault was a stupid ploy.

That's a perfect Tolkien impression from the voice to his lengthy way of talking.

Wait, I thought that was an actual recording.

I grabbed the trilogy in 4K a couple of days ago. ($19.99)You are only hurting yourself by not seeing the superior extended editions of TLOTR and TH.

No interest in the extended versions.
Might do the Hobbit trilogy as well since I've not seen even one of those.
You are only hurting yourself by not seeing the superior extended editions of TLOTR and TH.The first, sure.
You are only hurting yourself by not seeing the superior extended editions of TLOTR and TH.Really now?
Really now?I'm usually with you, but LotR is probably the only time I can genuinely say the extended cut added a ton to the experience.
I've tried a few extended versions such as Apocalypse Now and The Abyss.
It was just too much in one sitting.
Anyway, I already purchased the originals, but could request a refund.
The added content collection is $10 more.
Does anyone know if that includes both theatrical and extended?
It's digital so I'm guessing that it doesn't.
Really now?You are NOT suppose to watch it all in one sitting unless you are at home or at a friends so bathroom breaks equal a paused movie or view it in 1 hr and 30 mins segments.

Rereleases have always played an important role in movies. In the early days, when bootlegging and piracy were rife, exhibitors would supply any titles they wanted to the movies they showed. The rise of movie stars like Mary Pickford and Charlie Chaplin gave distributors the opportunity to capitalize on their earlier work. William Fox, the head of a film company that would eventually become Twentieth Century Fox, was something of an expert at repackaging his studios material. In 1918, while the country was still in the grips of a deadly flu epidemic, Fox began reissuing films from as early as 1915. He continued the practice in 1919 and 1920, this time giving his old films new titles. 1916s The Love Thief became 1920s The She Tiger. (A few years later the New York State Superior Court ruled the practice illegal.)
