Good news comes for the fans of epic trilogy "The Hobbit". Peter Jackson's adaptation will once again impress moviegoers as it will come to theaters this October in the extended edition.
It was Far Away Entertainment which first revealed plans for "The Hobbit" trilogy extended edition to get theatrical release. "Fathom Events and Warner Bros. are partnering to present the extended editions of all three Hobbit movies. Shown over three nights, the epic Peter Jackson trilogy will be the first time the extended editions have ever been released in theatres. Also included will be an exclusive introduction by director Peter Jackson. First night showing starts Monday, October 5th, 2015 at 7:30pm local. Tickets will be regular admission prices for each movie," reads the statement in the website.
The AMC 14 theaters in Tustin, California will be showing all three movies on October 5, October 7 and October 13 respectively. Under the title "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Extended Edition", the show will begin at 7:30 P.M.. Other cinemas such as Celebration Cinema in Michigan will also participate to screen the movie, but they haven't announced the date just yet.
However, it is unclear whether the film will be screened in other cinemas on the same date with the AMC and if those three films will be shown in three straight days or spread out over the month of October. Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Richard Armitage, Luke Evans, Orlando Bloom, Evangeline Lilly and Lee Pace are several names who will appear in this October's extended version.
