RainbowDisney Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 The Return of the King," has become the second movie ever to break the $1 billion box-office mark worldwide, distributor New Line Cinema reported Monday. The conclusion to director Peter Jackson's fantasy trilogy, based on the books of J.R.R. Tolkien, now ranks as the second-highest-grossing film of all time after the 1997 sea-going romance "Titanic," which cruised to $1.8 billion in global receipts. But "Return of the King" crossed the 10-figure threshold in less time, getting there in fewer than 10 weeks from its December 17 opening, compared with the "Titanic," which hit the billion-dollar mark as it entered its 11th week of release. Through Sunday, "Return of the King" had accumulated a worldwide total of $1,005,380,412 in ticket sales, New Line said. More than $361 million of that sum was generated at U.S. and Canadian box office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
