Production budget (including advertising) for the the LOTR films was just under $430M. Worldwide gross for the films was just under $3 billion dollars. The DVD sales are estimated to be another few hundred million.
Production cost $300M, prints and advertising cost $130M. All information I've ever seen indicates that they came in on time and right at the projected cost.
Many books are abridged, including The Lord of the Rings,in order to make the reading easier for younger people.NOTE: Whether you buy 'The Lord of the Rings' in one volume or three, the texts are the same unless they are marked as abridged.
No, there is not a 4th lord of the rings movie because there were only three books. "The Fellowship of the ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King." If you want to count "The Hobbit" or "There and Back Again" it wouldn't be a lord of the rings movie because it basically tells of how the ring was found and the adventure of Bilbo Baggins and the Dwarves. In that book they didn't know that Bilbo's ring was the One Ring, so it is not a part of "The Lord of the rings". It would be a separate movie, and not part of the series.
They did not expect that the film would be of interest to the general public and make money.
The book is not available legally for free online. It is a violation of copyright laws to make it available.
Yes and no, The Hobbit was written before The Lord of the Rings.When Tolkien's publishers asked for a sequel to The Hobbit he gave them The Lord of the Rings with much more detail than The Hobbit. Then to make the two stories agree he had to go back and edit parts of the original Hobbit.The Hobbit involves Gandalf the wizard along with Bilbo Baggins and how the ring came into his possession. So yes it is part of The Lord of the Rings universe and series but it's not technically one of the six Lord of the Rings books. Those books were published in three volumes, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King.

proberbly not
Be in the lord of the rings
It would make sense that the author of Lord of the Rings, JRR Tolkien, would be the one who picked the name for the series.
It is not specified in either The Lord of the Rings or The Silmarillion how long it took to forge the 20 Rings of Power.
The Lord of the Rings as a film trilogy has been permanently closed; aka they will not make anymore Lord of the Rings movies. However, the prequel to the Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, has been planned and is slated for release sometime in 2010. An in-between movie is in the works as well. See related links for more info.
They did. Try Lord of the Rings The Battle for Middle-Earth: Wrath of the Witch King, the lord of the rings return of the king,the two towers, and the third age are all really fun games
