The War Of The Rohirrim Hitting Digital On December 27

After a failed box office run of only two weeks, The Lord Of The Rings: The War Of The Rohirrim will become available for rent or purchase on the various digital home streaming services (Prime Video, AppleTV, Fandango at Home, etc.) starting December 27. 

The movie will remain in theaters for probably a few more weeks but if you wanted to see the film and going to a theater was too much trouble, now you can. The $30 million production so far has a worldwide box office total of $15.5 million and unlikely to crack $20 million. Not really sure what killed the film but best guess is interest in Middle-Earth's past in animation style just doesn't interest the masses. 

The commercial failure is unlikely to have any impact on The Hunt For Gollum since it will be using more famous Middle-Earth characters but chances are whatever further animation plans that may have been in the works have been tossed.
