“Revenge of the Sith” Re-Release Targets $17M?

Last May, Lucasfilm re-released “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace” in cinemas to celebrate that film’s 25th anniversary.

It proved a big success, the title taking in an $8.5 million weekend gross domestically and landing at the second spot at the U.S. box-office for the first weekend of May.

It was also the second-best opening weekend haul for a re-release this decade – behind only “Avatar” in 2022 at $10 million, and just above “Titanic” in 2023 with $7 million.

Next Friday, Lucasfilm is set to re-release “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith” in cinemas for its 20th anniversary, and so far the numbers are looking very strong.

EmpireCityBO reports that pre-sales figures for the title indicate if those numbers hold steady, ‘Sith’ is on the way to more than double the opening weekend of the ‘Phantom Menace’ re-release.

Tickets are now on sale via Fandango with AMC, Alamo Drafthouse, B&B, Cinemark, Fandango, Galaxy, Harkins, Marcus, Megaplex and Regal all hosting screenings in multiple formats including the first 4DX screenings of the film.
