Star Wars IV box office numbers?

Question

Are the number of box office sales for the original Star Wars just from the original release in the 70s, the rerelease in 1997, or a combination of the two numbers?

Answer 1

It originally opened on May 25, 1977 in 32 theaters in the US, $6,806,951 was made its opening weekend, $307,263,857 during it's first release, and eventually made $797,900,000 worldwide following the re release.

Answer 2

STAR WARS 1977 numbers alone.

Domestic:  $460,998,007    59.5%

+ Foreign:  $314,400,000    40.5%  

= Worldwide:  $775,398,007

Star Wars 1977 in 3rd now all time and still 2nd all time with adjusted inflation and number one for PG rating.

Answer 3

its just from the original release, but when they talk about the dark knight passing star wars in box office sales they don't take all factors in account, i read where if you take inflation into account then dark knight would have to make about 600 million to pass titanic and about 1.4 billion to pass star wars
