Brandon from boxofficemojo.com writes: Over the weekend, ‘ROTK’ soared to $825.7 million worldwide, climbing to No. 9 on the all time chart and eclipsing ‘Spider-Man’s $821.7 million haul. (Domestically alone, though, ‘ROTK’ is unlikely to top ‘Spider-Man’s $403.7 million tally.) Within a week, ‘ROTK’ should swim past ‘Finding Nemo’ to be crowned the No. 1 movie worldwide from 2003. Domestically, ‘ROTK’ has now topped both ‘Forrest Gump’ and ‘The Lion King’ [More]

Emerald Rose has scheduled a debut public performance in L.A. area, in advance of their appearance as featured entertainers at the Post-Oscar party for The Lord of the Rings (www.theonering.net). The Celtic folk-rock band from North Georgia will perform a special showcase of their high energy music at 14 Below, a music club in Santa Monica on February 27 from 7:30 to 9:00. The show will be followed by a meet and greet with the artists at the club.
In 2003 the band played their first LOTR Oscar event at last year’s “Two Towers” Oscar party. The band has risen from the Atlanta area Celtic music scene, releasing 3 CDs to date and touring on the East Coast (USA) and in Ireland, building a passionate following at Celtic festivals, science fiction conventions and Irish pubs. For over seven years Emerald Rose has blended tradition, mythic themes and humor to develop a unique “Celtic American Folk-Rock sound.” Their songs have been featured on radio shows ranging from “The Thistle and Shamrock” and “Green Island” to “The Dr. Demento Show”.
Emerald Rose was discovered by The One Ring at DragonCon, an annual Atlanta SCI-FI convention in 2001 and is proud to be the headline band at the post-Oscar party for the second year.
