'Matrix Revolutions' sets all-time record
Film squeaks by 'Two Towers' for five-day take

LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- Neo is indeed mightier at the box office than Frodo.

In a game of revision and counter-revision, the title holder for the biggest worldwide opening in history -- which has passed during the past few days from "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" to "The Matrix Revolutions" and then back to "Two Towers" -- is once again in the "Matrix" camp.

After adding in some late-arriving international grosses, Warner Bros. is now claiming victory for "The Matrix Revolutions," which amassed $202.8 million in its first five days since opening last Wednesday. That puts it slightly ahead of New Line's "Towers," which racked up $201.9 million in its first five days late last year.
**********************

So to all you hard core fans out there who went and saw it multiple times after it opened: Good Job. We did it folks. Notice that Revolutions won by only $900,000. Spread that across the globe and it doesn't count for much. Which means... each and every one of your tickets made a difference. Congratulations... The war is over

but ...ROTK...

as yoda said

"no, there is another"

I said this before but, let's kill those LotR fans.

burly> Dang it!! you're right. Well... we better enjoy it while it lasts.

*guess I won't really be helping much since I'm sure I'll see ROTK at least twice*

Hey Paulie whoah paulie whoooaaahhh!

What does that mean?

eeeeaaasy paulie eeeasy does it!

LOL! YO!

Damn I read the title and I thought Simple opened this thread to tell us that he opened a forum for the Matrix Online crew of this forum

How many times will i have to repeat this?I had to get a new I.D. because i lost my password and email site and stuff.
"I thought the war was over?"
"That EMP you sent out knocked down all our defenses.If i were the machines i would send everything i had."
Matrix Revolutions is the end.
RoTk will continue LOTR.

>><<

and to think charities want me to GIVE them money?

Another dot... geez.

priest> nope... sorry to let you down. I wish we had made it.

One day... one day...

***and BTW I Used to be known as priest, But nooooo. Somebody had to come along and swipe my nickname. Personally, I'd rather call you jim. j/k ***

Simple> It's as easy as this: For every time your watch RotK you watch Revolutions!

No: LotR's ENDS with RotK (this meant for whoever made that peculiar statement up there).

As it says in the TMO trailer: "After the Revolution the Matrix will live forever."

"...and LOTR won't!"

Hahahahahaha...

I like LOTR but Matrix is definitley better...

priest> Wait, now that I think about it, what do you mean open a forum? How can just a lowly person do that?? If I could I would. Also, as far as the website goes, I'd be willing to do whatever I can

We might have done it for now, but LotR isn't done, Matrix is, so the chances of us keeping that title are very slim.

Yup... In fact I'd say that our chances of keeping the title are zero. But, I didn't mean to put this as a big LOTR vs Matrix thing. I was just happy that Revolutions made it to the top of any chart. It just so happens that the former title holder was Two Towers. Oh well... it was cool while we had it.

SimplePriest> Does it really matter?

Had it NOT beaten the box-office, the cynics would say "See, it's such a crappy movie, no one wants to see it."
Now that it did, I bet we'll hear "See, the WB's (Warner and Wachoskis) are ONLY in it for the money."

yay we rule!!

Omega> Once again, you are right.

Omega is always right!! she is the Goderator!!

YEAH we love Omega

SHE CHANGED HER AVATAR!! OMG

yeah i noticed (no offense Omega)

Last night on Coast To Coast AM with George Noory, he mentioned that Matrix Revolutions broke the box-office record as of yesterday. So did all those who say it didn't do as well as 'Reloaded' were wrong?

i never saw anything about it but i heard so

COME-ON-PEO-PLE-LET'S-KILL-THE-L-O-T-R-FANS

Revolutions only broke records because it opened in 109 different markets. LOTR opened in only 29 markets and had only $900,000 less. Had reloaded opened at the same time worldwide it would have made much more than revolutions. Revolutions is doing absolutely terrible at the box office.

As is expected. I knew it!

Yeah I heard Revolutions is doing shit in the box office. I suppose Reloaded filtered the idiots out of the Matrix target market.

Or maybe people just didn't like the direction the trilogy went.

i think thats what happened

Hell I wasn't that pleased m'self, but whatever shite happens.

i'm with slinger in that, let's kill all the LOTR fans so that the movie won't beat revo's record (although that'll mean i'l have to kill myself cuz i'm goimg to see ROTK)

Holy kimichi, Batman! That's a lot of money. Almost enough to buy a large cage in which to entrap the objects of my desires... *schemes* You didn't hear that! Hahahaa! *runs off screeching into the night*


AI.

PS. Uh... yeah. Caffeine much?

hey, i like LOTR too....

Yeah, a friend of mine just informed me on this and that's what made the difference. Here in the U.S., it's not doing nearly as well as expected. Word of mouth and the general disappointment in this film has hurt it tremendously. I know I'll be one who will wait for it on video before going back to see it again on the screen, unless of course it's IMAX. That's a different cup of coffee altogether.

poor matrix revolutions, poor wachowski's, poor Warner Brothers, poor fans, poor...OK I'll stop

I wonder what lotr would make if it was R rated like the matrix.

What, are you saying that's how it got so much money? It's highly-rated so obviously everyone'll want to see it?

Sounds right to me

Although I'm begging for Neo to come back and put that horrible little Disney fish in a tank and forget to feed it.

AI.

Sorry, fellow forumites, but I have friends who're as insanely fan about LotR as I am about the Matrix movies.
Does RotK open on a zero-hour kind of thing? Here in DK it opens at 00:02 on the 17th of December.
And I'll be there. Same as last year.

It may have gotten more money, but the reviews are far less positive then TTT.

Just goes to show you that money doesn't mean a damn thing when it comes to the quality of a movie.

Apology accepted - I like it too!

But still....it kicked a$$, and no matter what the dumb critics say, ppl r still flocking to see it!

Yippee, most of them will probably be disapointed too, seems to be the case with the majority of people.

Nah...Not really.....U might wanna make it look that way...But nah!http://www.killermovies.com/forums/images/moresmilies/no.gif

yeah i'm pretty sure return of the king will kick revolutions' ass

Most likely.

Well...they r different movies!....Even the rating....http://www.killermovies.com/forums/images/moresmilies/sneaky2.gif

Well that didn't stop the person from making this thread, declaring some kind of pointless victory because of Revolutions making a million dollars more then Two Towers.

Backfire> WRong. This thread was to "celebrate" revolutions hitting # 1 (which was accidentially previously held by TT. ).
Once again: Who cares if RotK beats Revolutions to #1? Is it necessarily a better movie because of THAT? No.

Accidentally?

What? do you object to a good movie holding the title or something?

Yes, who cares if ROTK makes more then Revolutions, I agree money means nothing, but then that raises the question...Who cares if Revolution made more money then TTT?

Plus PG 13 has more access than rated R obviously....so the point is u can't compare!....It's like comparing "Finding Nemo" with the "Life of David Gale"!

It's easy to compare Finding Nemo and David Gale, Finding Nemo is much better, done and done.

Also the sole purpose of this thread was to brag about Revolutions making more money the TTT - thus comparing the two .

wow, yippee, do you know how often titles change when it comes to movie's making the most money. There's always records being broken.

The day Titanic broke Star Wars' record at the box office, is the day that proved once and for all that money doens't mean anything when it comes to the quality of a film.

Obviously ur parameters r way off!...So it's pointless to argue this with u!




Obviously....Titanic did beat it because it WAS way better than Star Wars...But oh!...I forgot!....I'm talking to a person that likes Nemo better than a Spacey movie...

Well, the last line of the first post of this thread states... "the war is over", like there was some kind of victory over TTT because Revolutions succeeded in the arbitrary task of making more money.

Saying that there was a 'war' clearly show's some kind of competition between the two films, at least in the opinion of the starter of this thread. That statement alone show's that the films were being compared, at least a little, because of the 'war' over the pointless money.

Verity> I wouldn't exactly say Titanic was better than StarWars. It's hard to compare the two... It's like trying to compare Monsters Inc with The Hours.

Well, all wars r pointless...

I believe so...

I'm gonna go see it at the IMAX again!

Most people will agree that Finding Nemo was better then David Gale

Nemo was actually one of the best films of the year, aside from 28 Days Later and Irreversible, which so far are the only movies to rival it.

(Merging due to similarity of contents)

Maybe that's because it's easier for some ppl's limited brains to deal w/ a lost fish in the sea than something that involves taking political sides...http://www.killermovies.com/forums/images/moresmilies/disgust.gif

How do you know that? Don't you think "most people" would be rather annoyed that you go ahead and make yourself their spokesperson?

You can speak for only ONE person. Yourself.

Ah yes, politics, you really have to be a genius to have views on politics dont you? Look at George Bush, he know's political issues, but he's an idiot.

Along with the many many other people that agree with me...

I am in no way being a spokesperson, I'm simply reminding everyone of the love that many many many people have for finding nemo, go look at www.imdb.com, look at the ratings for the two movies, Nemo's is way higher then David Gale, that alone shows that alot of people like Nemo better then David Gale.

Ur totally missing the point...and actually, if u wanna go there, he's not the one who even writes his speeches!..When I say "political", I'm referring to the capacity of an individual to have a point of view on the legal system of his/her country!...U don't have to be a president to think, or have an opinion!

I for one, don't agree with u...

You are missing the point. You can only SPEAK for yourself and no one else. Maybe you wouldn't mind that someone else went ahead and spoke on behalf of you?
And that "many many people" like Nemo, does not give you the right to speak on their behalf. One person, one vote... Familiar with the concept?

umm matrix revoltution didnt beat two towers for first five days
revo 201.4 mil
TT 201.8 mil
