Lindulan grinds the numbers for us and sends us the soundscan sales for the Howard Shore Score!
First week sales figures for LOTR soundtrack are in, as tracked by SoundScan. LOTR sold just over 22,000 units, putting it at #116 on the album chart, #7 on the soundtrack chart. Internet sales were about 700 units, good for #36 on that chart.
May not seem very impressive, but it’s important to remember most soundtracks don’t sell very well until after the movie is released.

J. Michael Straczynski has revealed that a trailer for the coming Sci Fi Channel telefilm BABYLON 5: LEGEND OF THE RANGERS will be hitting theater screens.
While posting to a B5 newsgroup, JMS revealed, “For those going to [THE LORD OF THE RINGS: FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING] when it opens up, there will be a LEGEND OF THE RANGERS trailer shown in most of the theaters carrying that film.”

Still on the fence about buying the game, need more reviews?

Decipher’s approach is to structure the trading card game around advancing your fellowship group from location to location. [More]

From Emre:
I went to the cinema a couple of weeks back, and a FoTR was being shown – dubbed. Horror! I wrote (exploded?) to the cinema chain, and got back this reply on 14th November.
Sayin Emre,
Lord of the Rings 21.12.2001 tarihinde bütün dünya ile ayni anda AFM de gösterime giriyor.
Dagitici Film sirketi, Filme olan ilgiyi dahada artirmak ve Türk seyircisine bir alternatif yaratmak açisindan bazi sinemalarda bu filmi Türkçe dublajli göstermeyi planliyor ama yalnizca bir kaç sinemada..
AFM ye ait sinemalarimizda altyazili orijinal gösterilecek bu filmden zevk alacaginiza inaniyoruz.
In brief, AFM – the largest cinema chain in Turkey – will show FoTR in Istanbul in the English (subtitled) version with the exception of two screens. Moreover, the chap says that the distributor merely “wishes to offer Turkish movie-goers an alternative.”
From Greenleaf:
I want to inform you that Shell in assosiation with the National Theater Bon, Afilm Distribution and Skyradio, started to give away free tickets to the avant Premiere of Fellowship of the Ring in the Netherlands. Its five days before the worldwide release, namely on the 15th of December.
