Don't make anime "master of the rings", they said. Look, bombarded the box office, they said. There is no doubt that Warner Bros. ". Animated experiment with "Lord of the Rings: The War of Rohirim" It looked dead on arrival - or, at least, shortly afterwards. Indeed, after a relatively decent amount of buzz in its premiere, the film landed with fever in the cinema as early as mid -December.

According to The numbersThe film had a production budget of about $ 30 million. He continued to bring less than $ 5 million during his open weekend. When the Rohirric Prequel closed the store less than a month later, she only crashed the $ 20 million brand when he added both home and international ticket sales. Remember, theaters also take a significant part of it. No matter how you cut it, or what ancient sword you use to do so, this was a treasurer.

So, that's it, right? Barely. When the "Rohirim War" hit Max Streaming Streaming on February 28, 2025, it quickly set fire to and has not looked back. According to FlixpatrolA page that aggregates viewing and streaming data, the film steadily overthrows maximum charts since then and is still the most trophy film on the platform of this writing. While this is just over the silver sheath for a studio looking for greeting box office numbers, there is no doubt that this animated adventure of the middle country is getting a new lease of life now that people can see it without dedicating themselves to traveling to their local theater.

The mythology of the Middle Earth of the CRR Tolkien is infamously complicated, and anyone who is not a firmly dedicated member of the random (like this poor writer) can easily catch the details and stay behind. As a reminder, "Rohirim's War" is a foretelling film about "Both Towers". Posted over 200 years before the "Lord of the Rings" (and long before the "Hobbit", also), focuses on Rohan's young people at the time.

This specific story is chronic about the fall of the famous King of Rohan, Helm Hammerhand (Brian Cox), as he first provokes his enemies and then falls into their combined armies. With gondor re -tied elsewhere, Westfold (and everything else) climbs to flamesForcing the king and his allies to escape at the then-cut fortress of Hornburg (eventually being renamed the deep helm, he is deep).

"The War of Rohirim" closely monitors the actions of Helm Hera's daughter (Gaia Wisely). It's a smart move because the character is in Tolkien's middle -country literature, but only as an unnamed and unstable person who is separated from the larger story of her father and brothers. The film builds a bow of the story of this neglected hero, using it to create a connected and complete narrative that extends through one of Rohan's most ugliest points in its short history.

The film has clearly emerged as a way for Warner Bros. to retain its rights to the Chinese IP from the middle country as it prepares larger live films Like "Golum hunting" (What Andy Serkis directed for the release of 2027, the earliest). However, although it can be a frivolous part of the Tolkien adapted Library, designed to be overshadowed by previous and future installments, the "Rohirim war" is still a fun trip to the middle of Peter Acksecson-one that drives with a nostalgia and a nostalgia.

"The Lord of the Rings: The War of Rohirim" is currently moving to Max.
