'The Lord of the Rings' Marathon (Extended Editions)
Stock up on lembas bread to make it through all three films, back to back and in their extended forms, on the big screen.
Overview
They're taking the hobbits to Isengard at The Astor Theatre, with one movie marathon to rule them all. Round up the Fellowship, stock up on lembas bread for sustenance and hide your finest pipe-weed from the Southfarthing for a sitting of all three of Peter Jackson's beloved OG Tolkien film adaptations in their extended editions.
Kicking off with The Fellowship of the Ring and ending with The Return of the King (with The Two Towers in the middle, of course), this cave troll of a marathon will see you making the cinema your home for 755 minutes at the screening on Saturday, June 28, 2025. There'll be a 20-minute intermission between each flick, with the first kicking off at 11am, the second at 3pm and the third at 7.30pm.
If you make it through breakfast and second breakfast to the final handful of endings, you can pat yourself on the back and smash a ringwraith screech at the nearest person on your way home (note: do not actually screech at people).
Tickets are the precious and come in at $40 for the whole ordeal 0r $35 for Palace Movie Club members.
