Los Angeles, CA, November 21, 2002 - To keep pace with the mounting anticipation of the December 18, 2002, release of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, the central film in Peter Jacksons epic trilogy based on the J.R.R. Tolkien classic, New Line Cinema has forged an unprecedented agreement with exhibitors to begin advance ticket sales on November 22, four weeks ahead of release. The announcement was made today by David Tuckerman, New Lines president, domestic theatrical distribution.
Box office presales will be available both at theater box offices across the US and Canada, and the official movie website www.lordoftherings.net, commencing twice as early with The Two Towers as was done in 2001 for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Last years release broke presale records around the world, with online sales ultimately representing 8.25% of the films domestic opening weekend. The film went on to gross $860 million worldwide.
"The fan base has exploded since the release of the first film, with skyrocketing DVD sales and increased pressure on exhibitors to make The Lord of the Rings tickets available throughout the Christmas season," Tuckerman said. "It is incredibly encouraging to have this kind of pressure for tickets this far out."
Stay tuned...~Brian
