The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

'New Moon' midnight shows break box-office records...the midnight madness rush. I'm still not convinced that New Moon is going to post final numbers anywhere near The Dark Knight, Pirates, Lord of the Rings, Spider-Man or even Harry Potter. I don't think it has that broad of a fan base...

More on The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Description from Wikipedia:
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is an epic fantasy film co-written, co-produced and directed by Peter Jackson. It is primarily based on the third volume of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings (but also includes material from the second volume), and it is the concluding film in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. It follows The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers and was filmed simultaneously with them.
As Sauron launches the final stages of his conquest of Middle-earth, Gandalf the Wizard and Théoden King of Rohan step up their forces to help defend Gondor's capital Minas Tirith from this threat. Aragorn must finally take up the throne of Gondor and summons an army of ghosts to help him defeat Sauron. Ultimately, even with full strength of arms, they find they cannot win; it comes down to the Hobbits Frodo and Sam, who themselves face the burden of the Ring and the treachery of Gollum, to finally destroy the One Ring in Mordor.
