To celebrate the 25th anniversary for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Warner Bros. and Fathom Entertainment are bringing all three original films in their extended cuts back to theaters in early 2026.

The extended editions of all three films were released a year after their theatrical debuts, and the long-awaited 4K remaster has been available on home video – as well as in a limited theatrical re-run also by Fathom Entertainment.
