MovieWebStory by Anthony Lund
scrn logline
A highly anticipated Lord of the Rings anime spinoff stumbles out the gate with poor reviews and a weak box office debut.
beat sheet
- Critics savaged 'The War of the Rohirrim', calling it 'a disappointing and lifeless cash grab' that fails to capture the magic of the original films.
- Despite a star-studded voice cast including Academy Award winner Gael García Bernal, the film only managed to pull in a dismal $12 million in its opening weekend - a far cry from the $100+ million blockbusters the LOTR franchise is known for.
