‘The Lord of the Rings’ 2026 Box Office Bodes Well For ‘The Hunt for Gollum’

The recent re-release of the film, shown over two weekends (January 16-18 and 23-25), was a big hit, even doing better than brand new movies like Greenland 2: Migration. The first weekend featured extended versions, followed by the original theatrical cuts. A special treat for fans was an introduction and behind-the-scenes stories recorded by director Peter Jackson. He shared some fun facts, like how Viggo Mortensen cleverly concealed a black eye during filming of the cave troll scene in The Fellowship of the Ring.
