I'm sure repeat viewing for Return of the King will be down compared to the other films because, as you said, there's that sense of an ending. I'm sure DVD sales and all that will be just as good though.<P>I also think that a lot of people that don't normally watch fantasy film went to see Two Towers in the cinema after all the hype of Fellowship. I'm sure many of them loved it, but I'm sure there were those that didn't see what all the hype is about and won't go to see the third one.<P>You can only maintain this level of excitement so long. I don't think it should be looked upon as a failure or disappointment.<P>Of course, Return of the Jedi being the worst of the first three Star Wars movies didn't help at the box office either. I don't think RoTK will suffer that fate.<P>H.C.
