I rather naively assumed the LOTR movies had made NL a shedload of money. Or were the NL bean counters being a little creative with their final bottomline figures for the films, if only to get PJ off their back claiming that he wanted a bigger slice of the profits pie?

You got it! PJ had to sue and eventually settled for an undisclosed sum- but then the Tolkien Estate, which is owed 7% of the gross- gross, mind you- has sued New Line because they haven't received one red cent.
