Star Wars Return of the Jedi Has Incredible Box Office Weekend for 40th Anniversary!

[@Penn2Flo]

Did you go see Return of the Jedi this past weekend?

[@TOFMDrone]

yes :) (belgium) +/- 90% full room

[@stonecold5373]

Didn't even freaking know about it until I saw it on the movie list after I watched Evil Dead Rise. I'll be seeing Return of the Jedi before Guardians of the Galaxy 3. Oh, yes. I actually looked at Monday sales tickets here at Cinemark and almost half the theater was full for the first night show at 6:30..... That's insane for an old movie.

They should play the original trilogy movies at cinemas every weekend world wide

[@Penn2Flo]

I know right easy money

[@busterboyist]

I WENT HERE IN THE UK OVER THE WEEKEND.....ME THE WIFE..MY NEPHEW AND HIS GIRLFRIEND ALL LOVED IT.

[@Penn2Flo]

Awesome glad you had a great time

I live in Japan and they only played Return of the Jedi at 1 cinema in Tokyo. The only way to get a ticket was by lottery. I was really disappointed this was the case, there are so many people who were brought up on Star Wars that now have kids and now want to bring their kids to see the old Star Wars movies on the big screen. Disney should of done a wider release, it is a missed opportunity to drag more people into the star wars galaxy.

Wow 1 theater. Easy money for disney they need to get back to making great star wars content

[@RicStorm616]

Badly promoted... In limited theatres... I think KK is afraid that a proper release would bury her efforts and make too much money 🙄

[@Penn2Flo]

From the looks of things she doesn't want to promote anything that involves luke. She has said recently he isn't considered a main character anymore

[@RicStorm616]

@@Penn2Flo 2027 is the 50th Anniversary of A New Hope, so maybe we'll get a better release then, hopefully KK and all the activists will be gone by then

[@abramsalinas1004]

I saw it in Katy, Texas

[@Penn2Flo]

Great! Hope you had a good time

[@abramsalinas1004]

Thanks, it was great. I actually saw details I never saw in it as a kid. I think I saw a black r2 unit rolling in the empires ranks. Either plaps or the Vader arrival. Other stuff too.

[@tugnut1626]

The new movies would of been better with two things, first not pooing on Luke Fin and Poe. 2nd been a little better on the story lore.

[@Penn2Flo]

Agreed I hate what they did with luke

[@tugnut1626]

@@Penn2Flo agree, I was also looking forward to the story arc of Fin and Poe... Disney missed a trick there as they could of had some awesome adventures... Instead of them being crapped on in the next 2 of the movies 😢

[@Penn2Flo]

I'm hoping with the upcoming rey movie they give Finn the role he deserved. If we see him as a jedi knight I'm gonna lose my mind lol
