    Star Wars has no chance against the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Neither the old movies nor the new ones. The days when Star Wars was "in" is long time over.

    definitely beyond pace so far.... LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The grand finale to the "Star Wars" saga opened in sold-out theaters to legions of fans dressed in their Jedi finest, generating an estimated $16.5 million at debut midnight showings alone. The unprecedented tally reported Thursday by distributor 20th Century Fox from some 2,900 midnight screenings fueled anticipation that "Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith" would mark one of the biggest film openings of all time. "This is a huge number," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box office tracking service Exhibitor relations. "It portends a huge opening day number. I think the sky's the limit right now." An estimate for the movie's entire first day was not expected until Friday, and Dergarabedian said there was little to measure "Sith" against so far. Studios rarely break out figures for midnight showings only. Perhaps the closest comparison, Dergarabedian said, was to "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King," which took in roughly $8 million from 2,100 midnight, midweek screenings in December 2003. That film went on to gross $34.5 million for its first whole day and $124 million through its opening weekend. At the same time, the blistering pace of advance ticket orders for "Revenge of the Sith" accelerated. One leading online and telephone box office service, Fandango Inc., reported that tickets were selling at a record rate of six per second, up from four per second Wednesday. The top distribution executive for News Corp. (Research)-owned Fox, Bruce Snyder, said he "would be pleased" if "Sith" matched the $110 million grossed by its immediate predecessor, "Attack of the Clones," through its first weekend. Some box office analysts said "Sith," by virtue of its superior reviews and status as the final chapter in George Lucas' "Star Wars" double trilogy, could surpass the opening-weekend tally of "Clones." "Sith" also opened on more screens -- some 9,400 domestic prints in all -- than any previous installment in the "Star Wars" franchise, and ticket prices have climbed since "Clones" came out three years ago. Experts said they expected "Sith" to easily gross between $35 million and $40 million on its first day in North American theaters. That would put it in the same league as "The Return of the King," "The Matrix Reloaded," "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," "Spider-Man" and its sequel. By comparison, "Attack of the Clones," which also opened on a Thursday, grossed $30.1 million its first day, including $6.2 million from debut midnight showings. "Spider-Man 2" boasts the biggest first-day box office ever, $40.4 million, while "Shrek 2" holds the record for highest single-day gross -- $44.8 million earned in its fourth day of release. The original "Spider-Man" is the all-time weekend box office champ, grossing nearly $115 million in its first Friday-through-Sunday frame. In the vacuum of official estimates of first-day business for "Sith," advance ticket orders offered further evidence that the film was a blockbuster in the making. "There are hundreds of sold-out shows across America, and demand is increasing, not subsiding," Fandango Chief Executive Art Levitt told Reuters. "It has picked up significantly even over yesterday's sales, and with this momentum (the sales rate) could grow even higher tomorrow." The brisk pace of advance sales and the sight of "Star Wars" devotees lined up in costumes hours before midnight showings warmed the hearts of Hollywood executives everywhere looking for "Sith" to snap a 12-week box office lull.

    definitely beyond pace so far....

    'Sith' Destroys Single Day Record by Brandon Gray May 20, 2005 After starting the day with $16,912,367 from midnight shows alone, Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith closed Thursday with $50,013,859 from an estimated 9,400 screens at 3,661 theaters. That's the biggest day ever for a single movie in history. Shrek 2 previously held the single day record with $44.8 million on its fourth day of release, a Saturday last May, while Spider-Man 2 had the opening day record at $40.4 million, posted on June 30 of last year. Revenge of the Sith soared past them both with a gross beyond the rosiest of industry expectations. "When I consider it's a Thursday with kids in school, I'd figure it can't do that," distributor 20th Century Fox's head of distribution, Bruce Snyder, told Box Office Mojo. "I did not think we could do $50 million. I was thinking maybe we could catch up to Shrek 2 on Saturday. I'm as surprised as the rest of the world." For further perspective, the biggest opening weekend of the year thus far had been Hitch's $43.1 million, and Revenge of the Sith blew past that in one day. Sith's gross is surprising, in part, because the previous Star Wars installment, Attack of the Clones, had an opening day on par with The Phantom Menace and ultimately made significantly less. In 2002, Clones grossed $30.1 million on its way to $310.7 million, while Phantom earned $28.5 million en route to $431.1 million. Despite the enormity of its opening day, Revenge of the Sith is not a lock to break Spider-Man's $114.8 million opening weekend record. "It's a tough call," Snyder noted. "I don't think that we'll have the 3-day weekend record. I guess if you take Thursday, Friday and Saturday, we'd be bigger. If we opened on Friday, we'd have the weekend record. But after this, you gotta drop. For the 4-day, we'll be the biggest ever." The current four-day champ isThe Matrix Reloaded, which nabbed $134.3 million in May 2003. That picture quickly burnt out and ended its run at $281.6 million. Snyder noted several reasons for Revenge of the Sith's success. "For one, it was the culmination of the series," he explained. "The buzz on the picture has been extraordinary in stories and on television, and we were quite a bit wider than Attack of the Clones in terms of number of theaters and prints. And I do think we are getting the adults who had seen the original trilogy." Revenge of the Sith has been seen as the jumpstart to get people back into the moviegoing habit after an uninspiring spring, but it will take more than just one movie. "The answer is if the movies behind it are good," Snyder said. "If there's something that's not interesting behind it, the box office will stall again." RELATED LINK: • Star Wars Special Briefing
