This part always leaves me with goosebumps.
Two towers/ROTK are perfect though
And now that the hype is 10x more than it even was before (due to the presence of hot-ass dwarves...), the other two films will probably surpass $1B a lot faster.
and 3D ofc
shocked that 2010's Alice in Wonderland is up there tho
i guess it depends on the special features...
I have the regular and extended versions of LOTR on DVD because I bought them as they were released, but just the extended edition on blu-ray. I actually pre-ordered it on Amazon before I had a blu-ray player, lulz.
