TYLER’s WEEKLY REVIEW
Very few franchises have sustained the longevity and popularity as Lord of the Rings. With the books, video games and movies all remaining just as relevant today as they were when they first debuted, it’s no wonder that producers in Hollywood saw and capitalized on an opportunity to reboot the movie series. “The Hobbit” opened in 2012 to huge fanfare and anticipation. It did not disappoint earning a whopping 980 million dollars at the global box office. With a hit on their hands, Warner set out to make a sequel and alas “The Hobbit Desolation of Smaug” was born. With another 890 million in box office ticket sales, Desolation of Smaug proved that the “Ringers” are still thirsty for more Lord of the Rings action.
The new Hobbit blockbuster is the headlining new release in a week that features eight new titles in total;
