Lord of the Rings: Rohirrim Streams on Max February 28

The animated film 'The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim' is set to stream on Max starting February 28, after a disappointing theatrical run that grossed just $20.4 million against a $30 million budget. Directed by Kenji Kamiyama, the film explores the story of Helm Hammerhand and his daughter Héra as they face the wrath of Wulf, seeking vengeance for his father's death. The movie, which premiered in theaters on December 13, will also debut on HBO linear on March 1 at 8 PM ET. Despite the film’s lackluster box office performance, it will be interesting to see how it fares on streaming, especially with Warner Bros.' other Tolkien adaptations, like 'The Rings of Power,' garnering mixed reviews yet maintaining audience interest. The voice cast includes notable talents such as Brian Cox and Miranda Otto, while the production team features veterans from previous LOTR films. The film's streaming release is part of a broader trend of Tolkien adaptations making a comeback in various formats.
