With a limited number of films set for a theatrical release amid the pandemic, famous franchise ‘Lord of the Rings’ is bringing its trilogy to boost cinema sales. The films will now re-release in Chinese theatres throughout April in restored 4K, Imax and 3D versions. This comes just in time for the 20th anniversary of the first movie from the franchise’s Chinese debut.

The re-runs of the trilogy come just after James Cameron’s ‘Avatar’ returned to Chinese screens and <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/avatar-dethrones-avengers-endgame-becomes-highest-grossing-movie-of-all-time-370332">snatched back its number 1 position</a> from Marvel’s ‘Avengers: Endgame’ to become the highest-grossing film in movie history.&nbsp;

Interestingly, this has happened without any promotions to back ‘Avatar’ and goes on to what kind of an impact the film has had on our minds.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, as for news of ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy, ‘The Fellowship of the Ring’ is scheduled to release on April 4, ‘The Two Towers’ on April 16 and ‘The Return of the King’ on April 23.

Peter Jackson’s ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy debuted in China at a time when the country had far fewer screens and thus a much smaller box office. ‘The Fellowship of the Ring’ hit the country in April 2002, grossing $6.88 million, while ‘The Two Towers’ earned only $3 million. In 2004, ‘Return of the King’ earned $10.4 million.

Work by British artist Sacha Jafri consisting of the world's largest painting on canvas has been sold for $62 million at an auction in Dubai, organisers said on Tuesday.

The "Journey of Humanity" is split into 70 framed sections spanning 1,595.76 square metres (17,176 square feet) -- equivalent to nearly four basketball courts.

Organisers said in a statement that the work sold for $62 million, double the amount targeted, with the money going to charities helping children.

Andre Abdoune, a French national residing in Dubai -- one of the seven emirates that make up the UAE -- bought all 70 segments on Monday at an auction in Dubai's "Atlantis, The Palm".

The work, confirmed by the Guinness World Records as the "Largest Art Canvas", had been put on display in the ballroom of the opulent hotel, and was originally meant to be sold in segments.&nbsp;

"I come from a poor family, and I knew at times how it feels to have nothing to eat, but at least I had the love of my parents, schooling, and support," Abdoune, who runs a crypto-currency business, told AFP. &nbsp;

"The painting was very powerful when I saw it, and, for me, it would have been a mistake to separate the pieces," said the former stock trader.&nbsp;

Abdoune also highlighted the coronavirus pandemic, noting how it had taken a toll on children around the world.&nbsp;

"We have to react, so if I can bring my little piece in the puzzle, I'm happy," he said.&nbsp;

Jafri had aimed to raise $30 million to fund health, sanitation and education initiatives for children in impoverished parts of the world. &nbsp;&nbsp;

The 44-year-old contemporary artist is hoping his painting will spark a humanitarian movement.

Children from 140 countries submitted artwork online to be included in Jafri's creation, which was completed at the end of September.

Disney delayed Black Widow&nbsp;and multiple other superhero films and animations Tuesday, dampening hopes of a swift recovery for US movie theaters that have only just reopened after a year's pandemic-mandated closure.

'Black Widow'&nbsp;starring Scarlett Johansson had been billed as the major spring release to entice fans back to multiplexes, which were permitted to restart at limited capacity in Los Angeles last week and New York earlier this month.

It will now open July 9 -- two months later than expected -- and will be simultaneously available on the Disney+ streaming platform for home viewers, at an additional cost to subscribers.

Disney, which is increasingly prioritizing streaming and has experimented with different release models during the pandemic, said the move reflects "the evolving preferences of audiences" in a market "that is beginning to recover from the global pandemic."

"We will continue to employ the best options to deliver The Walt Disney Company's unparalleled storytelling to fans and families around the world," added distribution chairman Kareem Daniel in a statement.

The news comes as a blow to theater chains which have absorbed heavy losses during a year of unprecedented closures that has also seen the traditional "window" in which new releases can only be seen on the big screen all-but obliterated.

Pixar's Italy-inspired animation "Luca" will now only appear on Disney+, from June 18, while live-action "Cruella" featuring Emma Stone will appear on big and small screens from May 28, the company said.

Black Widow&nbsp;was originally due for release in May 2020, before Covid struck. Its latest delay meant another film in the record-breaking Marvel franchise -- "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" -- has itself been postponed to September.

The "domino effect" is likely to affect major releases from other Hollywood studios that had been eyeing lucrative summer slots.

Despite the Los Angeles theater revival, this weekend industry watcher Exhibitor Relations warned the "re-opening is still slow going at the box office."

North America's top-ranking film -- Disney's Raya and the Last Dragon&nbsp;-- grossed just $5.1 million at almost 2,300 screens.

But there was some good news for theaters Tuesday with reports that Cineworld -- operator of North America's second-largest chain, Regal -- struck a deal with Warner Bros to show the studio's films exclusively on the big screen for a 45-day "window" next year.

Warner Bros had angered theater operators and prominent Hollywood filmmakers by announcing all films this year would be available from day one on its own HBO Max streaming service.

US actor George Segal, whose long film and television career spanned from the 1960s to the present, has died at age 87, his wife Sonia Segal told the Hollywood news publication Deadline.

Segal, who was nominated for an Oscar for "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf?" (1966), died in Santa Rosa, California of complications from bypass surgery, his wife said in the article, published Tuesday.

Born February 17, 1934 in a small town in the state of New York, he studied acting and had early roles in Broadway theater productions.

While younger viewers may know him as grandfather Albert "Pops" Solomon in the ABC network TV series "The Goldbergs," his long film career includes starring roles in "The Owl and the Pussycat" (1970) with Barbra Streisand, "The Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox" (1976) with Goldie Hawn, and "Fun With Dick and Jane" (1977) with Jane Fonda.&nbsp;

His first major Hollywood role was in "The Young Doctors" (1961), and later in "The Longest Day" (1962) about the allied landing in Normandy during World War II.

In "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf?" he played a young professor alongside two megastars of the time, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor.

Segal won a Golden Globe award for his role in "A Touch of Class" (1973) with Glenda Jackson.

On TV Segal was known for his roles in shows such as the NBC sitcom "Just Shoot Me!" (1997-2003), and later "The Goldbergs," which began its run in 2013 and is still in production.

"Today we lost a legend," tweeted series creator Adam Goldberg.&nbsp;

"It was a true honor being a small part of George Segal's amazing legacy. By pure fate, I ended up casting the perfect person to play Pops. Just like my grandfather, George was a kid at heart with a magical spark. I think these memories say it all.

In a massive relief for Harvey Weinstein, three women namely Louisette Geiss, Sarah Ann Thomas and Melissa Thompson have dismissed their claims against him.

These women had led the front of accusing the former Hollywood movie mogul of sexual misconduct. This change comes in the wake of a settlement plan that was approved in January by a Delaware judge overseeing the bankruptcy of The Weinstein Company.

Their complaint was aimed not only at <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/harvey-weinstein">Harvey Weinstein</a> but also board members of his former company as well as Miramax. At the time, US District Judge Alvin Hellerstein rejected 17 of 18 claims — all but a sex trafficking count against Weinstein, later convicted of sex crimes and sentenced to 23 years in prison.

The Weinstein Co. henceforth worked with stakeholders on a settlement that included establishment of a $17 million sexual misconduct claims fund for victims. Under the settlement plan, a sexual misconduct claims examiner reviews each claim that's filed, along with the documents and statements offered in support of it, and assigns a "point award." Those points will be used to determine how much money each woman receives. Accusers get the choice of releasing or not claims against Harvey Weinstein, but those who don't will only receive 25 percent of their allotment from the victims fund.

Other accusers, meanwhile, have objected to the settlement and are now pursuing an appeal.

Among the actors who were announced as winners for the 67th National Film Awards, child actor Naga Vishal deserves a special mention. Naga bagged the National Award for the Best Child Artist for Tamil drama 'KD Engira Karuppu Durai’ and he can’t stop being ecstatic about it. Directed by Madhumita Sundararaman, this Yoodlee production revolves around the relationship between an 80-year-old man (Mu Ramaswamy) and an 8-year-old boy (Naga Vishal). Happy with the National Award, Naga Vishal said, “This is a totally unexpected and overwhelming honour. The filming experience was so easy, and we were all one family on set. Madhumita Maam – my director – was like my elder sister. To get an honor like this at a national level is really something I wasn’t prepared for, and my family and friends are so happy and proud of me today.” Meanwhile, film director Madhumita of 'KD Engira Karuppu Dura’ added, “To get this kind of recognition, especially from the government, means a lot to all of us. Sometimes I forget that he is a child, especially when he speaks about his responsibility towards betterment of his family. Nagavishal brought life to Kutty, and deserves all these accolades and more. His win is a win for each one of my crew and cast who worked hard for KD to be what it is today. We are all so overwhelmed by the love that the audience have shown our film. Humbled and grateful.” 67th National Film Awards: Kangana Ranaut wins Best Actress, Manoj Bajpayee-Dhanush win Best Actor Manoj Bajpayee to WION on third National Award: I am humbled and overwhelmed
