When were the screenings?
The engagement was reported for January 2026. As of October 8, 2026, it is a past event, not an upcoming screening announcement. The available event-specific coverage does not establish current theater listings, ticket availability, or whether another engagement has been announced.
How this differed from the 2024 rerelease
A separate Fathom Events rerelease took place in June 2024. It scheduled the films on different days and presented 4K-remastered Extended Editions; that earlier event does not establish current availability or the format of the 2026 engagement.
#1 Best Overall
| Event | Timing | Edition or format documented | What it establishes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fathom Events rerelease | June 8, 9 and 10, 2024, respectively | 4K-remastered Extended Editions | The 2024 screenings and reported local showtimes; not present-day availability. (SlashFilm report.) |
| Limited theatrical engagement | January 2026 | Extended editions | A past event reported in indexed coverage; current listings and ticket availability are not established. (event coverage indexed by IMDb.) |
What to check if the trilogy is announced again
A future rerelease would need a fresh announcement: neither the 2024 report nor the past January 2026 engagement confirms future screenings. When checking a new listing, verify these details for your location:
- Theater and dates: Look for local listings and showtimes rather than relying on an old event page.
- Screening format: Confirm the format stated for that engagement; the 2024 4K-remastered presentation does not prove a later one will use the same format.
- Cut or edition: Check whether the listing specifies theatrical or extended editions.
Watching the extended editions at home
A 4K UHD Blu-ray trilogy set may be relevant if you want to watch the films at home, but the available coverage does not verify a current retail listing or the contents of a particular package. Check the exact edition and included discs with the retailer before buying.
