“The Paramount theatre in downtown Toronto had the top opening day box office gross in North America for Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, ringing up $114,124 in the first 24 hours of release.
When three of the theatre’s screening rooms sold out for the midnight opening Wednesday morning, two more screens were added. Across Canada and the U.S, The Two Towers grossed $26 million on its opening day, smashing The Fellowship of the Ring, which opened with $18 million in its first day of release.”
