The Hobbit films at theaters Can't Post

Do you think the Hobbit films will ever be at theaters again? I missed them, so I am just curious.

Well, they do occasionally re-show the LoTR movies [In reply to] Can't Post

and it seems lots of "classics" are finding their way back, so it's possible.

Thing is, [In reply to] Can't Post

I don't think they're perceived as "classics" by anyone other than, for example, fans on these boards. The LOTR films were hits - with audiences and critics alike - and made their way into pop culture and such, perceived as masterpieces ever since. The Hobbit films may have been perceived as decent by people (or less than that), but I've never heard anyone say they could ever become "classics" other than hardcore fans who were determined fans before the films had even been released.

I don't think they'll ever come to theaters again, unless paired with the original trilogy and in a very limited selection of theaters.

I believe they stand a great chance of being considered classics in time [In reply to] Can't Post

And I'm not a big fan of the novel and prior to AUJ's release thought they would turn out awful.

So now you've heard of one, for what it's worth.

Bofur: Dark days indeed.

Agree tho I think they need to do better PR [In reply to] Can't Post

Whether it was the Hobbit or LOTR. But I think they will be shown again, at least in the urban areas that
tend to have film festivals, classics, and marathons, and so on.

I AM still shocked at the "quietness" of the U.S. BOFA EE showingsFrown. I realize it was a Fathom event, but not
one sign in the theater I went to!

Still, I had a great timeCool. I just kicked myself later for not going to AUJ and DOS as well.Frown
Love my BR but there's something about a premium theater screen with a seat-rumbling sound system.Heart

Agreed [In reply to] Can't Post

They need to do a better job of letting folks know. I knew because of TORn and as an AMC stubs member. It was fun seeing them all in the theater again.
