The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey has just joined the billion dollar club with a whopping total of $1,001,134,992, where $700 million came from international markets. It’s not the first time a Middle Earth movie has joined such a prestigious club. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is also a member, with $1.119 billion in the bank! It’s going to take something special 3D inflated or not to knock Avatar off the top spot, which has sat there since 2009 with a staggering $2.78 billion!
