Well deserved....I don't mind studios making tons of dough if the stuff they make is worthwhile. With all the happiness these movies have brought me, they more than deserve it!

Not to mention it might encourage other studios to give epic and fantasy movies a chance, rather than just drubbing out the typical 2 hour popcorn fare.
