The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers” has sold more tickets through online vendor Fandango than any film in the service’s three-year history. Fandango, which is partnered with six big exhibition chains, sold nearly $6 million worth of tickets to “The Two Towers” screenings in the movie’s first five days, roughly 6% of the overall opening take. The film has continued to be a hot seller for the online vendor even through this past weekend, more than two weeks after its release, when it accounted for more than a third of Fandango ticket sales.
No. 2 on the company’s 2002 hit list was “Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of the Clones,” which sold more than $5.5 million worth of tickets. “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” was third with $4.5 million in tickets sold through the service.

Fraser writes: An overseas friend has suggested I share with TORN readers the meaning of the Maori phrase that appears in the credits that roll at the end of LOTR: TTT. The phrase in Maori is:
“He maungarongo ki te whenua He whakaaro pai ki nga tangata katoa”.
The phrase is commonly translated into English as:
“Peace on earth, Goodwill to all mankind”.
A great and fitting sentiment to crown a great film!

Narya writes: Readers of TheOneRing.Net may be interested to know that Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, has been voted the top DVD of 2002 by readers of the BBC’s teletext service, CEEFAX.
The victory was all the more remarkable as the Editor of the CEEFAX page had made it plain that he did not like the film. Despite this, The Fellowship of the Ring won by a resounding margin.
“I know you hate it,” wrote Rachael Savage to the Editor, while Andy Foster muttered “IR17;m voting it my favourite DVD of the year, which is probably pointless as if one of your faves doesn’t win I imagine everyone will somehow agree with you.”
Fully 27% of the voters chose FOTR, 24% of these opting for the four disc version. Attack of the Clones came second with 7% of the vote.
Melanie Burns echoed many when she said: “The extra thirty minutes add so much to the cohesiveness of the film, and the documentaries are fascinating.”
Dave Corsar reported that he has “seen the cinema version several times, but found this extended DVD had a slower pace more in keeping with the book.
“Sorry to pick a mainstream DVD” he continued, “but I really feel this one is something special. I would ne surprised if this edition would be shown in cinemas in future years.”
