Where are you getting that Friday increase from? It's never increased that much and it never will since Friday increases only get smaller later into the summer.
I say 50% increase maximum. It's got competition from The Island (not very big though) and it's losing theaters.

Fantastic Four's holding up quite well at 2.3 Million a day regardless of what others may think about it, I say it's doing pretty good, at least as well as the 1st X-MEN which says alot.. As for the whole ROTK VS ROTS Box office mumbo jumbo, only folks on the internet look at the Worldwide figure while in the U.S, It's the Domestic number that's measured for it's success in which case, ROTS is about to pass it.. It's a hard pill to swallow and will piss some of you off, but it is true..

Still tracking ahead of Planet of the Apes though it is behind in total gross. Should escape that massive fall as the WOM seems great. Thanks for the chart Arch.

Smear campaign? A little melodramatic, no?
TPM and AOTC deserved most of what they got in the way of criticism. RoTS happens to be a much better film than those two, and that is reflected in the critical response. If there was some sort of conspiracy, why not universally bash this one as well? Rubbish.
The movie detailing the birth of Vader and 'The Duel' is was one of the most anticipated films I can remember. It has been anticipated since the mid 90s (was that when the prequels were announced?) Besides, it has Star Wars in the title. That alone is good for $200 million (if not more), no questions asked.

Ignoring the worldwide figure is just a way of excluding information that doesn't support your arguments. RoTK made more money. Period.

Fuck worldwide? I'm sure the studios beg to differ. And by the way, its 2005. Nowadays, almost everyone falls under the category 'folks on the internet'.

I'm not saying it was a conspiracy, but there was a massive bandwagon effect that created a general perception of TPM and AotC as universally despised movies when in fact most people liked them.

$1.2m short of ROTK should pass it in couple weeks. that's a shame too cause they don't even compare in overall quality.
the lord of the rings trilogy runs around the new star wars trilogy 100 times over.
ill take the words of J.R.R. Tolkien over the words of George Lucas any day of the week.

Also, considering the fact that ROTS outdid ROTK's Opening Day and Weekend by 50%, it should be at about $540M by now.

I agree, Rogue, I liked ROTS very much, but ROTK is on another level. And by the way it sold more tickets and that is what truly count.
