Lord of the Rings, cost versus revenue ? does anyone know ?

Question

LOTR, how much did Jacson spend ?
What was the box office take ? the DVD sales ?

Thanx Clancy & did they go over that budget or was that the final cost ($430M)

Answer 1

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.
