From Dark Horizons:

After New Line Cinema’s anime feature “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim” debuted to a disastrously low $4.5 million in its opening weekend in cinemas on December 13th, and then fell a steep 72% to just $1.25 million this past weekend, the title is being made available on digital at home on December 27th.

I thought it was going straight to streaming to begin with. This is the first I heard about it even being in theaters.

This is the first I heard about it at all.

Just checked, it's in one theater an hour and a half away from me. That combined with it being an animation, no wonder it did poorly.

I didn't know it existed until I saw a poster for it in the cinema a couple of weeks ago. You'd think they would have actually spent more than a few pennies on marketing

Same. I thought it was going to be an animated series.
