To help celebrate the release of The Lord of The Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy Blu-ray, which hits stores on June 28th, AMC theaters is bringing all three Extended Edition films back to screens for one night only.
The three movies will play over the course of three weeks, with The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring screening on June 14th, The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers screening on June 21st, and The Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King bringing the trilogy to its climactic and Oscar-winning end on June 28th, the release date of The Lord of The Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy Blu-ray.
This will be the first time that The Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King Extended Edition has played in a theater. All three films will be shown digitally. More information is coming shortly.
The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring was released December 19th, 2001 and stars Alan Howard, Elijah Wood, Noel Appleby, Sean Astin, Sala Baker, Sean Bean, Cate Blanchett, Orlando Bloom. The film is directed by Peter Jackson.
The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers was released December 18th, 2002 and stars Bruce Allpress, Sean Astin, John Bach, Sala Baker, Cate Blanchett, Orlando Bloom, Billy Boyd, Jed Brophy. The film is directed by Peter Jackson.

My guess is that is the same reason that cut the last Harry Potter film in half.
I’m talking about blu-ray edition. He released the blu-ray theatricals a year or so ago, and a lot of people were put out that they couldn’t release both on DVD together. I didn’t buy the theatrical, but I plan on buying the extended. There’s just so many that I have shelf room for!
You’re right, there’s only so much space in people’s homes. I think I have LOTR in every format and they need to stop. Although, all home video release decisions are made by Warner Brothers and the guy in charge of that division is a madman.
Hi Race,
It’s December 2011, Starz has the trilogy playing all month. Do you know if they are playing the extended versions? I caught part of one movie, which had scenes I don’t remember. Do you know what was added on? Was there enough to buy copies of the extended versions for 15 bucks on Amazon? Thanks, FReegards Race
No Idea, I bought the set! :)
and the very last one in Return of the King skips and I threw out the receipt before watching them all!
I was not impressed with the HD version, I thought just using my 1080P upgrade screen to the old version was okay enough, but, it was a nice picture
