Comparative Performance

The Numbers is tracking The Two Tower' day-by-day performance against other blockbuster releases, including Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and last year's release Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.

See the detailed chart

A note on cast information: Although Sean Bean appears in the extended version of The Two Towers, which made a brief appearance in theaters in December, 2003, he does not appear in the original version of the movie released in theaters. Since the extended edition was in theaters for such a short period of time, we have not credited Sean for his role.
