Actually, most movies make their big money in the first few months. Otherwise they never make it.

Also these numbers are domestic -- typically these films double their revenue in the international release.

Sure, but LOTR hasn't been out two weeks yet. I would think the others have surely peaked. Many are on video now.

I would guess that FOTR is also within the top 15 or 20 for moneymakers for 2002. Surely it made over $150 million in January/February 2002.

I read that the DVD phenomenon has changed that considerably. Now we're supposedly seeing as much as 4 times more being made on DVD sales than at the box office.
