Jedi_Wannabee writes: I´ve just been informed that the presale for Return of the King tickets opens on December 1st, about two weeks before the big opening. All the 95 Danish cinemas will, the night before the first screening show the two previous movies in the trilogy and then the third film in a marathon. Last year, The Two Towers broke all Danish records with more than 250.000 tickets, and more than 100.000 tickets within 24 hours preordered. Together the first two movies have sold 2,4 million tickets in Denmark alone.
