The 10 Best Duos of 'The Lord of the Rings' Trilogy, Ranked
The Big Picture The Lord of the Rings trilogy returned for a third and final round in theaters this weekend, concluding a special re-release run that began earlier in June. Each film in the ground-breaking trilogy was re-issued for one day at a time, three weekends in a row. While the box office response was quite impressive in the opening weekend, the results have understandably tapered off.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the results. The first film, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, was re-issued in theaters on June 8, and returned for a second round on June 14, and then again for round three on June 22. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, returned to theaters on June 9, 15, and 23; The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King played in theaters on June 10, 16, and 24. All three films were presented in special remastered and extended versions.
The Middle-Earth Movies Have Grossed a Combined Total of Nearly $6 Billion Worldwide The Fellowship of the Ring made $2.4 million on its first day of re-release, around $632,000 on day two, and around $167,000 on day three. The Two Towers grossed $1.9 million on day one, around $508,000 on day two, and around $146,000 on day three. The Return of the King began its re-release run with $1.7 million, followed it up with around $513,000, and made $155,000 on its third and final day in theaters.
Directed by Peter Jackson, the Lord of the Rings trilogy is widely considered to be one of the greatest film series of all time. Produced on a combined reported budget of nearly $300 million, the three films were released between 2001 and 2003. They grossed a combined total of nearly $3 billion worldwide and won a total of 17 Oscars from 30 nominations. The Return of the King famously swept the 76th Academy Awards, winning in each of the 11 categories it was nominated for.
Jackson returned to helm a new trilogy of prequel movies based on Tolkien's The Hobbit, but they’re generally considered to be significantly inferior to the original films, despite their considerable box office success.
