HOLLYWOOD (Box Office Mojo) - Moviegoers around the world have decided to see The Lord of the Rings with the time that is given them.
The Return of the King raked in an estimated $246.1 million on over 14,000 screens worldwide from Wednesday to Sunday, setting a new record for a five-day worldwide opening. It handily eclipsed former title holder The Matrix Revolutions' $202.8 million, which bowed practically everywhere in the world (109 markets) to get that high and to inch past prior record breaker The Two Towers' $201.8 million.
Overseas alone, Return of the King conquered the 28 territories it entered with a whopping estimated $121 million in its first five days. By comparison, Two Towers pulled in $99.8 million in 27 markets.
Domestically, The Lord of the Rings finale attracted an estimated $125.1 million on 7,205 screens at 3,703 theaters since Wednesday, ranking as the third-biggest opening 5-day haul ever after The Matrix Reloaded's $144.4 million and Spider-Man's $135.8 million. Return of the King bested Two Towers' $102 million five-day start by 23% and The Fellowship of the Ring's $75.1 million by 67%.
I guess the movie really going to be King of the boxoffice.
