Middle-earth may be going from film to television with Amazon’s new series \u201cThe Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,\u201d but it turns out that that doesn’t mean the franchise is done with the big screen. The show will screen its first two episodes at fan events across the world on Aug. 31, two days before it makes its streaming debut on Amazon Prime Video.<\/p>\n

Cinemark created a page for the one-night-only event, with a note that tickets will become available on Monday at 9 am PT. The reservation also comes with a $10 snack voucher. The event is only available to Cinemark Movie Rewards members \u2014 the theater chain’s two-tiered loyalty program, which includes a free subscription option.<\/p>\n

Outside of the US and Canada, Amazon will also screen the series in locations in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Argentina, Colombia, Australia and New Zealand. Reports that the fan event will unfold across roughly 200 locations globally.<\/p>\n

The decision to bring \u201cThe Rings of Power\u201d to theaters, even if only for one night, represents a largely unprecedented push by Amazon for an upcoming program. The \u201cLord of the Rings\u201d property comes with a very engaged fanbase \u2014 of both JRR Tolkien’s original novels and director Peter Jackson’s Oscar-winning trilogy of films \u2014 that the streamer is hoping will spark enthusiasm among a larger viewership.<\/p>\n

Amazon hopes to make a big splash with \u201cRings of Power,\u201d which reportedly carries a production budget of more than $400 million and was described by Stuart Nash, New Zealand’s minister for economic development and tourism, as \u201cthe largest television series ever made. \u201d<\/p>\n

Amazon Prime Video will debut both of the first two \u201cThe Rings of Power\u201d episodes on Sept. 2. Following the premiere, the series will switch to a one-episode-per-week release format, debuting its remaining six episodes on each subsequent Friday.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
