'Star Wars' : $200 Million Tomorrow
If George Lucas' "Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith" continues to draw customers the way it has so far this week, it will cross the $200 million mark tomorrow.
With $182 million in the till, the film has taken in about $10 million a day since last weekend. The $200 million point will occur on its eighth day of release, which is certainly some kind of record.
Of course, the movie has made almost that much abroad in limited release since May 19. Combined with merchandising and other ancillaries, "Sith" is on its way to being the biggest movie of all time. And deservedly so, I think.
Although the term "Hayden Christensen" may be added to wooden appellations like "oak" and "birch" — as in, "I'd like a Hayden Christensen table" — "Sith" is an opera of epic proportions that doesn't fail to entertain on every level. The good money is on millions of repeat customers from last week, plus millions of new ones.
Who comes off the best here? Surprisingly, Ewan McGregor. His Obi-Wan Kenobi finally seems organic and heroic. Aside from Yoda, McGregor is the heart and soul of "Sith."

His Obi-Wan Kenobi finally seems organic and heroic. I wholeheartedly agree - Empire will forever be my favorite, but as the one that ties it all together, we couldn't have asked for more! And I really wish they'd just quit about Hayden's acting. Yes, he was a little rough in Ep II - but he said it himself on Leno that he was only doing what George wanted him to do. I thought he redeemed himself nicely in ROTS. And as for Obi Wan? He always shines, doesn't he? Yes, maybe especially so in ROTS, when he almost made me lose it over his big "You were my brother" speech, but he's been awesome through them all. Hooray for George! (I think I'm just gonna start having my paycheck direct-deposited to his bank account )
