The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" took in $34.1 million domestically on opening day, easily beating the debuts of the fantasy epic's first two installments, distributor New Line Cinema said Thursday.

It was a record debut for a movie opening on Wednesday, surpassing the $28.5 million take for "Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace" in 1999.

The film also had the sixth-best single-day gross ever, behind "Spider-Man" with $43.6 million and $39.4 million on two different days, "The Matrix Reloaded" with $37.5 million and $34.4 million on two different days, and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" with $34.2 million.

Well, I wanted to go yesterday but fade stayed out playing paintball way late So we are shooting for Friday afternoon.

I've watched the first two extended versions this weekend, so I'm all geared up

 

[prolangtum]

I will admit, I have a slight non-homosexual man crush on Aragorn and Eomer.

 

[butterfly]

Legolas is the one for me

 

[prolangtum]

He looked quite flaming in ROTK, especially at the end of the movie on the foot of the bed.

 

[Rocco32]

Aragorn and Farimar!

 

[prolangtum]

Peter Jackson really portrayed Faramir as quite a pussy in this flick. I am reallynot sure why he did that.

 

[Rocco32]

I still liked him. Probably still saw him as the book character.

 

[prolangtum]

I feel bad for those who havent read the book, not only can the movie be appreciated more, but the book is better IMO. Well, except for Tom Bomdabil

 

[Rocco32]

I was kinda bored with Tom Bomdabil. But the book was amazing!

 

[butterfly]

Is Tom in the 3rd movie??? Or are you just refering to the book???

 

[Rocco32]

referring to the book. He's not in any of them.

 

[TheGreatSatan]

Finally saw it!!

 

[TheGreatSatan]

I have to admit though there were some scenes that made me all teary eyed.

 

[TheGreatSatan]

O.K. you got me. I bawled!

 

[Vlar]

Peter Jackson did a kick ass job with what he had control over! (not to mention the millions of dollars worth of extra help!).

After watching the movie, its almost two much to take in. You have to sit back and reel in the last two movies and put the third in its place and by then.. damn.. its overwelhming!

Yea, some aspects didn't have justice, some characters weren't as developed but hell.. kick arse triology on the silver screen! READ THE BOOKS!

 

[TheGreatSatan]

I can't read fiction.

 

[butterfly]

I can hardly wait to see it!!!

Anyone recommend a good scene to run to the bathroom during???

 

[Rocco32]

Honestly BF, there are no good scenes to run to the bathroom during! Watch it twice and go to the bathroom at different times

 

[RedDragon]

Dudes I saw it finally!!! I've been waiting for three years!!! Damn it was cool. And yeah damn right! You don't $&%@ with Samwise Gamgy!! He'll stick you first!
I've got to say that I am a bit saddened though. The adventures over now......very sad.

 

[RedDragon]

they say that there gonna make a Hobbit movie, but I'll believe it when I see it.
