Chinese fans breathed a sigh of relief Wednesday after Warner Bros. at last announced finalized China re-release dates for the first two “Lord of the Rings” films — a scant two days before the first is now scheduled to appear.
Official Chinese film media had initially stated in late March that re-runs of “The Fellowship of the Ring” would begin last Friday, April 9, followed by “The Two Towers” on April 16 and “Return of the King” on April 23.
The films have now been pushed back a week. “Fellowship” is set to hit April 16 and “The Two Towers” on April 23, while a date for “Return of the King” remains undetermined — leaving some fans disappointed that they will likely miss the opportunity to watch all three in theaters consecutively.
Warner kicked off its official Weibo announcement of the release dates with a translation of the classic quote: “One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them.
