Revenge of the Sithhas officially wrapped up its re-release, and the final film in theStar Warsprequel trilogy found immense success at the box office. After grossing $25.4 million at the box office this weekend,Hayden Christensen’s Star Wars movie then earned $2.4 million on Monday and $2.7 million on Tuesday at the domestic box office. At the time of writing, the film sits at a domestic total of $410 million and an international total of $485 million, helpingits global total reach $896 million. This $410 million domestically is enough to pushRevenge of the SithpastIron Man 3to become one of the 30 highest-grossing sequels ever. It will likely passDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnesswhen the final numbers come in, but possibly fall short ofToy Story 3.
It’s unclear at this time if any additional screenings forRevenge of the Sithwill be added, but after it’s performed so well, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Disney andLucasfilmextend its run by another week or so. TheStar Wars prequelswere not looked on favorably upon their release, but in the 20 years since, they’ve developed a cult-like following. This mostly comes from the kids who watched these movies growing up, now adults with an added investment in the story. It’s also easier to understand the poignant and relevant messages about corruption inall the Star Wars movies, but especially the prequels, which are as much political thrillers as they are Star Wars movies. All three Star Wars prequel films were written and directed byGeorge Lucas.
