- dragonwriter 6y ago> Not OP, but I think he was referring to The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) OP referenced "over 90% of HN readers", who are notoriously out-of-the-mainstream nerds[0], so he probably was referring to The Lord of the Rings (1978) [1] which grossed $33.7 million (which seems a lot less than the 2001 film, but is pretty similar as a multiplier on its budget.)
