The force is strong with ReturnOfTheJedi’s 40th anniversary box office.
For theater owners, it may be a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one as the Force remains strong with the Star Wars franchise, following the highly successful re-release of Return of the Jedi on its 40th anniversary. In news that will be music to the ears of the Walt Disney Company, demand for audiences to journey to a galaxy far, far away is still booming as the 1983 film which closed the original Star Wars trilogy opened to $4.
The film first opened in 1983 to a return of $252.5 million as audiences flocked in their droves to witness the climactic battle between Luke Skywalker and his father, Darth Vader . The film was estimated to have sold over 80 million tickets in its initial theatrical run. COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The plot of the film saw the Rebel Alliance conduct a final assault against the Empire, who had secretly been building a second Death Star on the forest moon of Endor.
Two other films, one about the origin of the Jedi by James Mangold, and another which will conclude the TV series arc that began in The Mandalorian, will accompany that film. Whichever of these releases first will mark the first theatrical Star Wars release in at least 6 years. Disney, therefore, will be delighted to see such high audience engagement for the re-release of a 40 year old film.
