Any day that I can go home after work and say “I made $16.5 MILLION Dollars today” is a damn fine day! On Thursday morning at 12:01am, that’s what Revenge of the Sith did! Now, to understand how really impressive this actually is, keep these few points in mind:
1) The opening night midnight showing of Return of the King took in only $8 million (which is still an impressive number)
2) This was a Wednesday night/Thursday morning showing… people had to be at work the next day
3) Some films don’t make this much money in their entire run
It’s a real testament to the strength of Star Wars that Phantom and Clones were so hated by so many… and yet Revenge of the Sith is STILL bringing in these kinds of numbers. Impressive (in my best Darth Vader voice) Most impressive.
