Ring-a-Ding-Ding! Return of the King breaks that $1-billion mark for the worldwide box office.
Return of the King now ranks as the second-highest-grossing film of all time, after 1997's Titanic, which rang up $1.8 billion in global receipts. But King crossed the 10-figure threshold in less time, getting there in fewer than 10 weeks from its Dec. 17 opening, compared with Titanic, which hit the billion-dollar mark at the start of its 11th week of release, Reuters reported.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy has now netted nearly $2.8 billion globally--that's a lot of lembas bread!
