Star Wars breaks box office records

It was expected, and it happened: Episode 3 came, saw and conquered, scoring 158 million dollars in America, and over 300 million dollars worldwide, claiming top spot for biggest opening ever. This was thanks in a big part to the opening day, which delivered 50 million bucks to George Lucas' piggybank. The friday to sunday portion of the weekend saw another 108.5 million for Star Wars. An insane figure, but that was not enough to beat the record that is still being held by Spiderman. That movie scored 115 million dollars. Still, I don't think the people at Lucasfilm will be that dissapointed! The movie made a lot more moolah in it's first days than the previous two installments, and it will be interesting to see to what heights Episode 3 will soar.
