In There and Back Again: An Actor's Tale by Sean Astin (who portrayed Samwise Gamgee in The Lord of the Ringstrilogy) and Joe Layden, Astin disclosed that he was paid $250,000 for his role. Though I do not know if Wood was payed this same amount, I assume that it was at least $250,000 (as Wood's role of Frodo Baggins was the chief role of the trilogy.) Also, the primary actors of the movies received substantial bonuses as a result of the success of the movies, though this amount has not been disclosed.
Revenue of the LOTR trilogy
$871M - the fellowship of the ring
$926M - the two towers
$1 billion worldwide - the return of the king

Priceless.
Lord of the Rings has won more awards and netted much more money than Shrek. And there is no 'book' for Shrek, whereas The Lord of the Rings is one of the largest selling books of all time, selling over 150 million copies.
Not very much, although there is some cursing in different languages.
Yes and no, The Hobbit was written before The Lord of the Rings.When Tolkien's publishers asked for a sequel to The Hobbit he gave them The Lord of the Rings with much more detail than The Hobbit. Then to make the two stories agree he had to go back and edit parts of the original Hobbit.The Hobbit involves Gandalf the wizard along with Bilbo Baggins and how the ring came into his possession. So yes it is part of The Lord of the Rings universe and series but it's not technically one of the six Lord of the Rings books. Those books were published in three volumes, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King.
