Never before in Hollywood history has a movie grossed over $100 million in its first three days, not even when taking ticket price inflation into account. To put that figure into further perspective, uber-blockbusters &#8220;Stars Wars: Episode I &#8211; The Phantom Menace&#8221; and &#8220;Harry Potter and the Sorcerer&#8217;s Stone&#8221; took 5 days to hit that mark. [<a href=\"http:\/\/boxofficemojo.com\/articles\/news\/?id=020505bor.htm\" target=\"new\">More<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p>But &#8220;The Lord of the Rings&#8221; was still in the top 20 at No. 19 with an estimated $430,000 from 408 theaters, down 46% from last weekend.&nbsp;The epic adventure&#8217;s&nbsp;138-day total&nbsp;stands at&nbsp;$308.8 million, and it should surpass &#8220;Return of the Jedi&#8221; $309.3 million total within the next two weeks to become the 9th highest grossing movie of all time. The longevity of &#8220;Rings&#8221; is the kind that &#8220;Spider-Man&#8221; can only wish for.
