The trilogy of Lord of the Rings had great success making lots of money as you can see from the chart below
Rottentomatoes.com provides the following statistics:
The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring:
Box Office: $313,837,577
VHS Rentals: $17,160,000
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers:
Box Office: $340,478,898
VHS Rentals: $9,460,000
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King:
Box Office: $376,958,965
VHS Rentals: $3,030,000
Taking those statistics for the film we can add them up and find a total:
$1,060,925,440
So after much speculation and rumors it has been confirmed that the prequel to the trilogy is being made.
The Hobbit is going to be a two part film based on the novel The Hobbit (of There and back again) by J. R. R. Tolkien. The film is currently sceduled to be released in December 2011 (Part 1) and December 2012 (Part 2) and will be directed by Guillermo del Toro, with The Lord of the Rings film trilogy director Peter Jackson serving as executive producer and co-writer.
The question is though will The Hobbit have the same success as the its books after it or just by a film for Lord of the Rings nerds to get excited about as they have nothing better to do?
