Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith Re-Release Box Office Prediction

Disney looks to squeeze more bucks out of a blue chip franchise with the 20th anniversary re-release of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. It is the culmination of the oft criticized second trilogy in the vaunted franchise and this is generally considered the strongest of the three. Marking the last picture directed by series creator George Lucas, this one-week engagement could manage to bring the faithful and more out.

Last May, Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace was put back into multiplexes for its 25th anniversary. Results were better than anticipated with an $8.7 million debut. The second installment – Attack of the Clones – is not being granted a theatrical comeback. Pre-sales for Sith are quite encouraging and suggest this could double the Phantom figures. I’ll predict this gets past $20 million for what could be anywhere from a second to fourth place premiere.

Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith opening weekend prediction: $22.6 million

90 Minutes in Heaven Box Office Prediction

This Friday, the Christian themed drama 90 Minutes in Heaven looks to bring in an audience that just made War Room a surprise success. It could succeed. Based on a popular novel, the film stars Hayden Christensen, Kate Bosworth, and Dwight Yoakam.

Over the last few years, these faith based flicks have had a knack of making more than prognosticators have anticipated. As mentioned, just two weeks ago, War Room took in $11 million on just over 1000 screens for a second place showing. The current numbers have Heaven debuting on around 800 (this could change, of course).

I really see no reason why this won’t post a similar result, so we’ll say this reaches just past double digits in its opening.

90 Minutes in Heaven opening weekend prediction: $10.5 million
