Continue ReadingWord from New Line quoted on Coming Attractions is that they’ll try and get LOTR back in more cinemas when the TTT preview reel is released: “…we’re going to switch out the last reel for Friday, March 29. On March 22 we’re going to do a big push to get back into the theaters. I hope to get back to 2,000 [screens].”
Thanks to Lord JubJub for the news.

Sideshow/Weta Collectibles has updated there Collector’s Society page to include Series 4 & 5 of their statues and busts. The collector’s society gives customers a 15% discount on a purchase of an entire series.

Edwin writes: While I’m sure the official figures will be out soon enough, by playing with various online translation tools, it *appears* that LOTR took in excess of 900,000,000 yen on opening day in Japan ($6.75+ million).

Please take the above with a pinch of salt until somebody with a better command of Japanese can confirm for certain.
