MIthalwen - thank you for that link.
According to the statement you linked to, here are some numbers
April 1999 - April 200
Income 137,323 British pounds
that would be pre-film
April 2003 - April 2004
Income 5,494,330 British pounds
that would be at the height of the film
April 2005 - April 2006
Income 1,166,199 British pounds
that would be post-film
It is my understanding that a British pound is about equal to $2 US dollars.
So what we have here is income increasing from a pre-film level of less than $400,000.00 US dollars to an income level of nearly $11 million US dollars. That is astounding and represents an increase of some fortyfold.
Since the film has left the theaters, the revenue stream is still eight times greater than it was pre-film.
I do not want to misunderstand or misrepresent these numbers. If I am wrong or am reading this incorrectly please correct me.
Do these numbers represent ALL and TOTAL income to the Tolkien Estate from the revenues of books or other royalties due to them during the film period?
