[The Saucepan Man]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> If I understand the original impulse of the thread aright, it was not merely to explore and catalog box office numbers but to compare the stories themselves. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Lindil, I agree, and I apolgise if my post gave the impression that I thought that this thread was just about the relative success of the films at the Box Office. As I am not really into the Matrix films, comparing them with the LotR films is not something that iterests me. But it seems to me that it is a perfectly valid discussion to have on this thread.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> As for the box office, I think The Return of the King will probably take more cash than either one of the first two Lord of the Rings films. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I agree with you here, Eomer. I believe that TTT beat Matrix Reloaded, but that Matrix Revolutions has just trumped TTT. On that basis, I would expect RotK to outsell Revolutions.
