That film about the midgets was pretty good.

He must have got royalties or something. I don't think he's 3rd in box office receipts.

LotR quintuple dipped hard. Box office isn't even the half of it.

First of all, you get box office. Which EVERYONE saw all three movies at least twice.
Then extended runs in the dollar theater.
Then replay in normal theater on the night part 2 and 3 came out.

That's box office.
You don't hear about

Then DVD release. Everyone bought.
Then rentals.
Then toy lines/retail. George Lucas never made a dime off Star Wars movies. His fortune is 100% toys/merch.

Then extended cut DVD. Everyone buys.

And now perpetual distribution on every streaming service.
The only property more profitable on streaming is Star Trek.

What? It makes sense on why so much Merchandising but Fuck! What about the sale to Disney? The guy has to be making money on the side business' Skywalker Ranch, ILM and the other stuff. He's building a huge school/museum in LA at the moment. I saw the plans first in 2017 and its Still not done yet. Projected to open 2025 https://archive.is/zlcDv

He probably made money selling Lucas Film, but Empire Strikes back is still "unprofitable" due to "Hollywood Accounting".
George knew how the Jews work in Hollywood, so he told 20th Century Fox they could keep the profit from the film, but he gets all IP rights.
All the people who worked on Star Wars only got paid for labor. There hasn't been a single check written for royalties.

I have watched all the Lord movies at least 5 times over the years. All he did was transcribe the books into movie format as genuinely and faithfully as he could. Really simple formula. People say Jews just want to make money. If that were true, they would have used the same formula to make the rings of power. I guess making money is a secondary concern when you can print your own out of thin air.

Not The Hobbit. Where was it written that Thranduil was a drag queen?! Many other divergences in the later films.

Yeah, true. He garnered enough good faith from the first 3 to let some Jew degenerate abomination alterations through on the hobbit. Probably also why he has 1.5 billion dollars and the demons haven't tried to destroy him.

and the demons haven't tried to destroy him.

Don't kid yourself. They have videos of him raping children

Why do I not remember this in the book or movie? My sister and I read the Hobbit when I was 10. So that was like 50 years ago.

The events of “The Hobbit” take place decades before “the Fellowship of the Rings.” Bilbo is a youngish man and Frodo is not in the book. Bilbo and a bunch of dwarves sneak into the dragon Smaug’s lair to steal treasure which rightfully belongs to the dwarves. They also get captured by elves, they fight giant spiders in the mirkwood, and they ride down a river in barrels. Bilbo meets Gollum and steals his “precious” ring after a riddle contest. But not in that order.

The movies came out maybe 5 to 8 years ago? It was one book but they stretched it across 3 movies to make more shekels. They inserted a bunch of subplots that were never in the book. They invented a “feminist” lady elf and her romance with one of the dwarves. The movies had some good moments but the extra material was an affront. They made the elfen king an extreme fag. I dont think there was was any other way to interpret his character. Shame.

Jackson didn't start out to make money. He started out to make a film as true as he could to the book. This was the intent. The KIKES in Hollywood chose to make it about money. He is just the byproduct. If you know the films and the process he took way back 25 years ago, he used all the OG artists that had been painting their interpretation of Tolkien's work back to the 70's.
