Yep once on trilogy tuesday, wednesday, thursday and now once again tonight. Every single showing for the last three days that ranges from 6pm till 10 pm has been sold out everyday....I have never seen anything like this.
The mall i go to is the biggest mall in the tri-state area so the showtimes go as follow's: 6:00, 6:40, 7:00, 7:40, etc. I cant wait to hear the box office total on mon.
ok final figures
ROTK PULLED IN US$125,071,000 since it opened ( dec 17-21)
it made bout 78 million for the weekend..........argh it couldn't beat spidey.......ah well ........it is winter in the states so not as many people will be going out and waiting long hours in line ( I THINK) and its Pg-13 so not as MANY people ( ie children) to go see.
anyway...........ROTK IS GONNA STEAMRoll them
okok better than that................from BOxofficemojo i got this
>The Return of the King raked in an estimated $246.1 million on over 14,000 screens worldwide from Wednesday to Sunday, setting a new record for a five-day worldwide opening
Go ROTK........dont worry trinidad & tobago will be adding to this from christmas ( even if its less than US$2 for a cinema ticket here)
well since the forums originally for posting box office records its broken heres the next few
-Return of the King smashed opening day records in 13 countries including the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain and Scandinavia, New Line noted. The U.K. accounted for $5.2 million of that sum, Germany contributed $5 million and France $3 million. The Two Towers posted $15.58 million from 14 territories in its overseas debut, and Fellowship $11.3 million.
-biggest december opening, 73m, previous record 62m held by none other than the two towers
-highest 5 day opening internationally (amount in first 5 days of release) $246.1, previous record holder matrix revolutions (lol) with $202.8
