'Return of the King' Rings Up $1 Billion
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King has become the second film in history to earn more than $1 billion worldwide, reaching that level during its tenth week of release, one week faster than Titanic (which went on to earn $1.8 billion). According to its distributor, New Line Cinema, the film's total stood at $1,005,380,412 through Sunday. The results were announced even as the domestic box office experienced a deep swoon, falling 21 percent behind results for the comparable week a year ago. Although four new films made their debuts, not one earned so much as $10 million.
