HBO is screening “The Spoils of War” in select theaters

Dan Selcke

The Game of Thrones season 7 home boxset comes out next Tuesday, December 12, in both DVD and Blu-ray formats. To celebrate, HBO is doing something a lot of Game of Thrones fans are sure to appreciate: showing an episode, plus extras, on the big screen.

Game of Thrones is among the most cinematic shows ever produced, so it’s right at home on a movie screen. And the episode HBO plans to show — season 7’s “The Spoils of War” — should look particularly spectacular. The Dothraki engaging the Lannisters in battle, Bronn rushing across the field of fire, Jaime charging at Daenerys…that should be a night to remember. And on top of that, HBO will screen Conquest & Rebellion: An Animated History of the Seven Kingdoms, a 45-minute documentary about the Aegon Targaryen’s invasion of Westeros, narrated by the stars of the show. Here’s a sample narrated by Harry Lloyd (Viserys):
