New Line Cinema’s “Elf” is returning to theaters on Nov. 17 in select U.S. and U.K. theaters. The film's theatrical return is part of a 20th anniversary celebration Warner Bros. Discovery announced this month.
“For 20 years now, the film ‘Elf’ has securely cemented itself as a treasured holiday tradition, touching the hearts of generations of viewers,” said Robert Oberschelp of Warner Bros. Discovery in a news release.
The 2003 Christmas comedy stars Will Ferrell, Bob Newhart and James Caan. Ferrell’s character, Buddy the Elf, heads to New York City to meet his biological father. The pair clash as Buddy’s exuberant love for Christmas has clearly skipped a generation.
The film will screen in select theaters, so anyone who wants to partake in the festivities can check their local movie theater listings to find out where to watch, the entertainment company said.

20th anniversary celebration includes in-person events, movie screenings at the Empire State Building
In a nod to the film’s setting at the historic Empire State Building, Warner Bros. Discovery has planned movie screenings there on Dec. 3, 10 and 17. The film will be shown on the Empire State Building’s 80th floor. The company promised freebies such as candy, snacks and drinks.
There will also be chances to take photos with Buddy at the Empire State Building, sort of.
Starting Friday Nov. 10, visitors can strike a pose with a life-size version of Buddy the elf on the building’s 86th floor observatory.
