The Lord of the Rings can still make that precious, precious money.
Each played just once on each day and both still cracked the top 10 at the U.S. box office.
As pointed out byERC, Fellowship grossed $2,441,275 on Saturday while Two Towers grossed $1,914,981 on Sunday.

Each played on 1,529 screens, according toBox Office Mojo.
(Bad Boys for Life was #1 this weekend, grossing $56 million at 3,885 theaters.)
It was a pre-meditated, nostalgic event.
Fingers crossed more studios work with theaters or companies like Fathom to get more repertory screenings into the multiplexes.
Update 6/10/24, 6:30 p.m.: We updated the story with a quote from the CEO of Fathom.
