'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
