This is no surprise. At least they didn’t blame FG.
I think we should look at the statistics to see if there was any significant amount of damage done to the earning for Star Wars in it’s first weekend of release.
“Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith” sold an estimated $108.5 million worth of tickets for the Friday-to-Sunday period, taking its total to $158.5 million since it opened after midnight on Thursday.
Its four-day haul sets a new record, surpassing the $134.3 million tally of 2003’s “The Matrix Reloaded.” Its Thursday tally of $50 million also set a one-day record, beating the $44.8 million sum for “Shrek 2″ last year.
Things seem to be just fine in Lucasland.

1With them its black and white. They think if someone downloads it they won’t see the movie and that’s completely untrue. Thinking in absolutes is the way of the Sith…

2Oooh, what a surprise. I wish the MPAA would be more like the RIAA and actually start using technology instead of fighting it. With broadband readily available there’s really no reason not to offer a download service. Sure, there will still be piracy, but it will never go away.
