Yea, probably around Dec10 as that's the official release date for Germany and they said it's going to be released around the same time everywhere.

Thought that I would add that the Collectors Edition of EW for LOTR has the following scenes listed:
300 new F/X shots and 49 minutes of added footage.
1. Gandalf confronts Saruman at the ruins of Isengard.
2. Aragorn treats Eowyn in the Houses of Healing after her fight with the Lord of the Nazgul.
3. Faramir's attraction to Eowyn begins when he sees her in the Houses of Healing.
4. Merry pledges fealty to King Theoden.
5. The Lord of the Nazgul faces off agains Gandalf during the seige of Minas Tirith and breaks his staff.
6. Aragorn uses the palantir to reveal himself to Sauron as Isildur's heir before he goes to Mordor for the final battle.
7. The Mouth of Sauron taunts Aragorn and his troops at Mordor's Black Gate, showing them Frodo's mithril shirt.

There are several more and longer listings, but in other threads... haven't had time to search for the exact posts yet.

LOL
I was dreaming something similar the night before yesterday 😂
I got a copy of it... and was watching it...

the beginning of the film was totally strange, some scene with the Dead Host when they're already on the ships of the corsairs... but in my dream that was the scene when they first meet Aragorn... the ship looked totally strange, like one those paintings from the late 18th/early 19th century and was coming directly out of the water towards Aragorn... then they started singing or so 😑 🤨 and Aragorn fell asleep... and also started dreaming... and was dreaming exactly the same scene that had just happened again... and then in this dream in the dream he again started dreaming exactly the same again 😆 ~~ then I woke up 😛
🤨

I dreamt something about Merry and Pippin eating all the leftovers from the party after helms deep, and suddently something about Denethor being all nice with Faramir, and then all of a sudden I was in the movie, asking Denethor all kinds of quastions, he showed me the ashes of his wife, wierd huh? and then I talked to Imrahil for awhile and then we went to battle, and then I woke up, damn phone 😠
