The biggest franchise “Lord of the Rings” is the second life on max

According to them, do not make anime “lord of the rings”. Look, he bombed at the box office, they said. Undoubtedly, Warner Bros. ‘ An animated experiment with “Lord of Rings: Rogirim’s War” Upon arrival looked dead – or at least shortly thereafter. Indeed, after a relatively decent noise for the premiere, the film landed with Thud in theaters in mid -December.

According to NumbersThe film had a production budget of about $ 30 million. He continued to bring less than $ 5 million during weekends. When the Rohirric prequel closed the store in less than a month, it just hacked $ 20 million when adding both domestic and international ticket sales. Remember that theaters also take a considerable part of this. No matter what the way you cut it or what ancient sword you use for this, this cash box flop.

So, that’s all, huh? Hardly. When Rokhirim’s War came into the streaming current on February 28, 2025, he quickly caught fire and did not look back since then. According to FlixpatrolA site that brings together viewers and streaming data, has ever been in charge of Max Charts and is still the most relevant film on the platform from this writing.

This specific history of the chronicle is the fall of the famous King Rohan, Helm Hammerhand (Brian Cox), when he first provokes his enemies, and then gets into his united armies. With Gondar again linked elsewhere Westfold (and everything else) goes to flamesForcing the king and his ally to run to the then Hornburg fortress (after all, to rename deep-so, this helmet).

“Rokhirim’s War” closely monitors the actions of the daughter Helm Hero (Guy wise). This is a reasonable step because the hero is in the literature of Tolkien’s medium agriculture, but only as an unnamed and insignificant man who is away from the greater history of her father and brothers. The film creates a history arc for this unpredictable hero, using it to create a related and complete narrative, which extends to one of the most amazing points of Rohan in his brief history.

The movie is obviously Like “Hunting for Guen” (which Andy Serxy directs for the release of 2027 as soon as possible). However, although it may be an insignificant part of the adapted Tolkien library, designed for the distortion of previous and future parties, “Rogirim’s War” is still a fun trip to the middle ground Peter Jackson-who is dripping with nostalgia and tells epic history to hear every time.

“The Lord of the Rings: Rahirim’s War” is now on Max.
