In honor of “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” turning 25, Fathom Entertainment and Warner Bros. are bringing all three extended edition films from Peter Jackson’s trilogy back to theaters next year. The films will screen in DBOX presentation from Jan. 16-19 and then in standard formats from Jan. 23-25.

In addition to bringing the extended films back to the big screen, limited-edition “Lord of the Rings”- themed concession items will be available at select participating theaters. AMC moviegoers can look out for limited-edition popcorn buckets featuring maps of Middle Earth, while Regal and local cinema patrons can get buckets with a “One Ring” design.

Fathom and Warner Bros. have also released a new logo and trailer for the trilogy’s 25th anniversary.
