During the same weekend that “Lord of the Rings” comes back to theaters, Sony will re-release “Run Lola Run,” the influential German thriller, and also “Bad Boys: Ride or Die,” the fourth installment in the Will Smith/Martin Lawrence-led action series. The Russell Crowe horror film “The Exorcism” will also premiere that weekend, from Vertical. Will Frodo and the group outdo them all?
