When Peter Jackson decided to make J.R.R Tolkien’s classic The Lord of the Rings, it was a huge risk at the time, but the success it has made over the years is astounding. The Middle Earth franchise not only includes The Lord of the Rings trilogy but also The Hobbit trilogy as well.
The former series is critically acclaimed all around the world and both trilogies have dominated the box office when they were released. Out of all the 6 films in the franchise, 2003’s The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King raked in an eye watering $1.14 billion and 2012’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey brought in an astounding $1.01 billion worldwide.
