Line 76:
|''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring]]'' (2001) ||''[[Dungeons & Dragons (film)||Dungeons & Dragons]]''||[[High Fantasy]] in a magical land of elves, goblins and other fantastical creatures based off legendary and sacred nerd franchises. (Both distributed by New Line Cinema.)|| ||LOTR by a landslide.
|-
|''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring]]'' (2001) ||''[[Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (film)|Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone]]'' (2001)|| First installments of high-budget film adaptations of popular and beloved fantasy series, with an overlapping viewer demographic, released within a month's difference of each other. || || A tie, or, better said, both films win. Both LOTR and HP were incredible box-office hits, grossing about $900 mln each, successfully launching their respective film franchises, [[Visual Effects of Awesome|revolutionizing the use of CGI in movies]] and [[Genre Turning Point|greatly raising the prestige of the fantasy genre]].

|''[[The Descent (film)|The Descent]]'' || ''[[The Cave]]''<br />''The Cavern'' ||Horror movies with similar titles, made in the same year, and all three about a group of cavers who go spelunking, meet something unpleasant, and die.|| ||When it was released in America one year afterward, ''[[The Descent (film)|The Descent]]'' ended up becoming known as "Like ''[[The Cave]]'', but it doesn't suck." ''The Cavern'' is much more obscure than the other two, but definately the worst of the lot.
