Awards and Records for Fellowship of the Ring. - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Dave · 8th January 2002, 01:57 PM

The Fellowship of the Ring remained the No. 1 US box-office draw for the third weekend in a row, taking in about $23 million for the three-day period starting Jan. 4, the Hollywood trade papers reported. That raised Rings's total so far to about $205.5 million since its Dec. 19, 2001, debut.

The Fellowship of the Ring was named movie of the year in the first annual AFI Awards, handed out Jan. 5 in Beverly Hills, Calif. The awards, launched by the American Film Institute, honored outstanding achievements in film and television for the year 2001.

Rings production designer Grant Major also won an award, as did the film's digital effects artist, Jim Rygiel.

WOW!! hope luck stays that way, we want the next two!!!

Does anyone think that Fellowship of the Rings will surpass the One Billion mark? Or that the Trilogy combine will?

Personally, I am hoping the movies will gross higher than Titanic, just for spite.

Legolas · 8th January 2002, 07:07 PM

The trilogy will pass the 1 Billion mark no probs!

Jessa · 8th January 2002, 07:09 PM

It'll definatly go higher than Titanic, because Titanic was short lived, LOTR will stay for a long time because it's a book, and a classic at that

Jedispara · 8th January 2002, 09:45 PM

ya, it's a classic, i think that the trilogy will gross at least 1 billion, mabey 2

It's made a few records in Australia aswell:
Highest single day gross ($2,110,149); highest Boxing Day gross ($2,110,149).

And here is a site that has how FOTR has grossed so far http://www.boxofficemojo.com/data/lordoftherings/

OWWWWWWWW, nice stats!!!!!!

Morrigan · 10th January 2002, 12:58 AM

Don't you love it that LotR has grossed 205 million dollars in 3 weeks, approximately 95 million dollars less than Harry Potter, which has been playing for 8 weeks?

This means HP get s about 37 million dollars a week, where as LotR get 68 million dollars a week.

That is a quite a difference

Jedispara · 10th January 2002, 01:06 AM

no kidding!

Arwen · 10th January 2002, 10:59 PM

ok im not sure if im the only one who thinks this but do you think it will over top the star wars trilogies?

Morrigan · 11th January 2002, 01:23 AM

I don't know about Star Wars. You have to think, will it top Star Wars when it first premiered in the 70's/80's, or do you add on all the re-showings that have occured lately?

With the adjusted rate, and allowing the multiple releases, the SW Trilogy grossed over 2 billions dollars. Staw Wars alone got 1 billion, and Return of the Jedi/Empire Strikes Back each got about 500,000,000.

I'll be happy if LotR just kills the #7 Highest grossing film Titanic (gee, can you tell I loathe that film?)

Arwen · 11th January 2002, 01:25 AM

oh dont worry i loathe Titanic as well....

Morrigan · 11th January 2002, 06:30 AM

:evil: talon, m'dear, you just keep getting better and better.

I hated that film *so* much.... when I would go over to my oder sister's house to visit, I would leave if she put it on.

Legolas · 11th January 2002, 08:20 PM

Titanic? Oh I watched a bit of that today! I think Star Wars sux and I will dance if LOTR beats it I really will!
