Brandon Gray from boxofficemojo.com writes: Amidst the hullabaloo of the Oscar noms and Golden Globes, ‘ROTK’ accomplished something greater than the promise of Oscar gold — it topped ‘Finding Nemo’ to become the No. 1 movie from 2003 worldwide. ‘ROTK’s global take climbed to $876.5 million, leaping ahead of ‘Nemo’s $844.3 million. On the All Time chart, ‘ROTK’ jumped to No. 6, topping ‘Fellowship of the Ring’s $869.8 million and ‘Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets’ $869.4 million. In about two weeks’ time, ‘ROTK’ should top ‘Two Towers’ $924.8 million to be the No. 1 movie of the ‘LOTR’ franchise. ‘ROTK’ won’t even open in Japan until Feb. 14. Japan will be the key to whether ‘ROTK’ can top $1 billion worldwide (and in turn the No. 2 movie of all time behind ‘Titanic’s $1.8 billion). [More]
