With its international numbers yet to be posted, the re-release to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Return of the Jedi has brought in an impressive $7,259,924 in North America. That now means that Episode VI has brought in $316,566,101 in the US and $122,009,457 internationally for a global worldwide total of $475,106,177.
That may not seem like much in 2023, but factor in inflation adjustments and it’s budget of $32,500,000 (which for a film of its scale today would be far north of $200 million) and you have nothing but a huge smash.
