But as prepublicity goes, that’s peanuts compared to the Peter Jackson-directed film trilogy (2001-2003), which made just shy of $3 billion at the box office (with his follow-up prequel movie trilogy The Hobbit adding another $2.9 billion). The original book trilogy written by JRR Tolkien and published from 1954-1955 has sold more than 150 million copies. The ambitious project has already grabbed headlines for being the most expensive TV series ever made, but it’s not like Amazon is gambling on an unknown quantity. Fancy a return trip to Middle-earth? Amazon certainly hopes so, because it’s pumping a staggering amount of money into a new Lord of the Rings TV series, set to premiere on its Amazon Prime streaming service.
