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*

PS. Uh... yeah. Caffeine much?

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. 🙂

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

Ikobe The Swan's Princess

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.

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!

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

Verity Senior Member

Nah...Not really.....U might wanna make it look that way...But nah!

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

BackFire Blood. It's nature's lube

Most likely.

Verity Senior Member

Well...they r different movies!....Even the rating....

BackFire Blood. It's nature's lube

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.

The Omega Z10N0101

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.

BackFire Blood. It's nature's lube

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?

Verity Senior Member

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"! 🙄

The Omega Z10N0101

Backfire> No, I happened to like LotR. I’ll explain it again: The point of this thread is to celebrate Revolutions hitting # 1. That position was previously held by TT. This thread has NOTHING to do with saying TT is a BAD movie, just that M3 is NOW # 1.
Do you understand the difference. It didn’t matter WHAT movies previously HELD # 1.
