Rolling out simultaneously on a record 18,000 screens in the United States, Canada and 94 other countries, "The Matrix Revolutions" surpassed the banner debut of "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers," which raked in roughly $188 million worldwide in its first five days of release in December 2002.
