'King' Rings Up $34.1 Million on First Day The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King sold about $34.1 million worth of tickets at the domestic box office on Wednesday, setting a record for a Wednesday premiere and also setting the stage for what many analysts predict will be the biggest opening weekend for any film ever. The previous record for a Wednesday opening was set by Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace in 1999, when it took in $28.5 million. New Line Cinema distribution chief Rolf Mittweg reported that the film earned an additional $23.5 million in 19 other countries, including $5.2 million from the U.K., where it also set a Wednesday record.
