The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies collected $US90.6 million ($111m) in ticket sales during its first five days in North American cinemas, slightly better than the five-day total for last year's Hobbit installment. The Battle of the Five Armies, the final entry in this particular Middle-earth trilogy, cost the New Line division of Warner Bros. and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer at least $US200 million to make, not including at least another $US100 million in marketing, according to analysts.
