@mylifeforAiur: I don't see Phantom Menace as much of a bad film as others do. I think the new trilogy gets a lot of flak but aren't as bad as people make them out to be. I'd take SW making $1 billion to ensure that more SW comes out. Maybe with this extra money the live action show in development will be better. You can't have things both ways in life, so if a SW movie is going to make a billion then its fine with me that its this one. I think we all would rather have A New Hope put up there.

@CrimsonAvenger: Thats pretty dumb. Guess it makes it easier for me so I'm not spending $20 every few months on a movie I've already seen but still, no reason to string along like this.

This makes me extremely sad.

this is cool. i like the movie and it has influenced are culture so much. Anyway, if there are 2 PIRATES movies in the billion dollar club there should be more STAR WARS ones.

This. 1000 times this.

Yes. More Star Wars need to be cross that mark but they'd need to make some serious money upon re-release to do it. Revenge of the Sith could but I seriously doubt it will gross more than $100 Million if it is re-released in 3D in 2014.

Keep in mind that chances are if they rerelease Revenge of the Sith it will be somewhere from 2014 to 2016. Who knows what ticket prices would be by then. :)
