The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey — Warner Bros. Entertainment

(CNN) -

"The Hobbit: There and Back Again" is going to take a little longer to arrive in theaters.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the release date for the final chapter in Peter Jackson's "Hobbit" trilogy has been pushed back a few months to December.

Originally slated for the summer of 2014, "There and Back Again" has a new release date of Dec. 17, 2014.

It now falls in line with the holiday release dates for the first two "Hobbit" installments: "An Unexpected Journey" arrived on Dec. 14, 2012, and "The Desolation of Smaug" will be released on Dec. 13 of this year.
