Just the important bits....
115 Miiillion dollas! Good LORD that's a whole lotta money....
For a release set of 3 movies (boxed), 3 individual movies, all from the series that has grossed over a billion dollars in US ticket sales alone (over 250Million in 1977!!) I'm not really surprised at this number; when you consider the market footprint of 250million people (US) and how many people the franchise has touched, it's almost disappointing.
IF this number includes game sales AND DVD in the same total, it's kind of lame. Think about it... ~50US per game, and a PS2 /XBOX /PC gaming footprint of 50Million .... 115Mill adds up to ~5% of owners buying that game. I mean, Fable (a hit game for one of the smaller markets) has made over 18Million US in the last week. They sold 350,000+ units in a market that sits at less than 20 million... that's more than 10%.
I wasn't one of those people who bought it; I'd like the version where Han wasn't robbed of his roguish nature. (Lemme guess, in the new one the bartender shoots first, Greedo gets a shot off, and then poor Han is just defending himself). :roll:
