The first one was released on the 19th of Dec. the TT was released on Dec. 18th next one on the 17th probably. They don't want a FULL year to go by.

On the official website it says "Christmas 2003," so it might come out on Christmas Day. It's actually a fairly popular day for movie openings.

What is boxing day? Last year whe nI was looking for TTT release dates it said Christmas 2002, and it was released on Dec. 18 2002, so it would make sense for the rotk to be released on dec. 17 2003, even though it says Christmas 2003.

Boxing day is basically the day after Christmas! Why do we call it that anyway?

i unno i only know that the three movies all come out on december 26th... i thought when i first heard they were coming out a year apart i was all yay but now it is hell... only 10 hours till TTT comes out in aust... :( :( :(
i cant remember why it is exactly called boxing day some english tradition that passed on to Aust... well we have passed on a different boxing day tradition flogging them in the Boxing day test hehhehe.

Okay the 17th. Now I can start counting down. Thats uh... too many days to count. :( Oh well. Ha ha you called the movie theater and asked for tickets already lol. That reminds me of something my friend and I did... The theater had lotr popcorn buckets and we asked if we could buy the bucket and not the popcorn... the lady had to go call the manager. Then I felt bad becuase we didn't buy it afterall.. It was going to be $6 for a cardboard bucket!!!

Goodness how much was it with popcorn in it??

Sylvee Estel

$6. But we didn't want the popcorn because it was a cardboard bucket and the butter would ruin it.

the 17th. in the rotk pics thread theres a website with a pic of aragorn and the release date under it. the really stupid thing that says underneath is the war will be won december 17th. yeah. it gives away the whole movie.

Yeah the midnights shows kick ass! I went to the midnight shows for both FotR and for TTT :D

i want to go to the midnight show of return of the king! That would be really neat! I went to the first show after my school let out on Dec. 18 for TTT. And I saw FotR the first weekend it was open on... (i had a violin concert on Dec 19 2001):) :)

I really hope I get to go to a midnight showing for ROTK. I haven't ever been to one! I didn't for FOTR because I wasn't into LOTR then. And then for TTT exams interfered. :( I hope exams don't interfere next year, I'd really like to go to one.

lol, same with me, advanced tickets rule! I had problems with ordering them too, the internet wasn't allowing the advanced tickets for the midnight shows, so I had to call in and the damn menu kept going to the wrong dates, lol :p

I did that too! I already have 2 LotR pop corn buckets (these kinds are plastic) and the theater was selling LotR popcorn BAGS so I asked if I could buy one without popcorn in it and they wouldn't let me.:(

My dad bought tickets online for me and my 3 friends, fortunetly (for me- not for him) He clicked on the 'buy' button twice, so we had 8 tickets! My friend Kate and I wan't to go to school in trenchcoats and try to sell them at lunch. In the end we just gave them to our other friends! Twas very fun!
