The Hobbit Trilogy Has Cost $561 Million Thus Far
Double the amount spent on The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Peter Jackson's Hobbit Trilogy has cost a staggering US$561 million to make so far; double the amount spent on his Lord of The Rings trilogy.
According to Variety, financial documents filed online by New Zealand’s Companies Office stated that production on the trilogy had cost NZ$676 million, which converts to US$561 million at current exchange rates. It's a figure that will likely escalate: while it covers the major 266 days of filming completed last year, it doesn't factor in the series of pick-up shoots completed in Wellington, New Zealand this year, as well as any further postproduction costs as Jackson and his team complete the final two movies.
While the figure may sound bloated, Jackson's trilogy will still make a profit. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey alone has grossed over $1 billion worldwide, with the two sequels yet to release. It's also important to note that things simply cost more today than they did in 1999, when The Lord of The Rings trilogy began filming.
Variety noted that Jackson's somewhat controversial decision to shoot in both 3D and 48 frames per second (over the standard 24) added "significant expense" to the production budget.
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is due out in December, while The Hobbit: There and Back Again will release December 2014.

He was fairly good size at 13.5" tall.

I took on page 7 when Bilbo is holding up the ring as a sign that he's afraid of what he saw /heard when he put it on Felt Sauron/Spider speak. maybe he threw it away after feeling the evil?. and picked it up because of the possesion taking place...who knows

Sweet. Luckily a nice Ultrascreen near by will be showing it in 48fps. Can't wait.

I'm trying to remember back to when the LOTR soundtracks came out. If I remember right, one of the film's soundtrack came out in November.
Yeah, I think it was the end of the month.
