Barnack Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Jaws seem to be missing on that list (nearly 200m down I think).

George Parr Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) The number for Empire strikes Back is also a bit misleading. That difference is the post-SE number, not the drop at the time of release. The original Star Wars made 221m in its original release, adding around 44m in its first re-release that may or may not have started when the first run hadn't even been entirely over, before making another 22.5m in another re-release in 1979. So depending on how you count, ANH stood at 221m, 265m or 288m. ESB, meanwhile, reached 181m in its first release. ANH added another 17m in 1981 and 18m in 1982, ESB added 27m in 1981 and 14.5m in 1982. After this, ANH was basically exactly 100m ahead of ESB. The next and only further re-release for both was the Special Edition in 1997, with ANH adding 138m and ESB ~68m. So while it is technically true that ESB stands at 170m below ANH, it would be kind of odd to count that as the drop from one to the other, seeing how a sizeable part of that only came 15-20 years after release, and you wouldn't really want to wait 20 years to find out how much a movie dropped from its predecessor. Looking at the drops in terms of percentages is a better way to judge it anyway. If TLJ would finish with "only" 725m it would be a drop of over 200m, yet a normal drop in terms of percentage. Have a movie that made 220m drop to 20m with its sequel is a whole lot harsher. The whole thing gets worse the lower the numbers of the original are.

When ESB was released, ANH had grossed 307m. ESB did 209m. They should base it on first run, which would actually make that gap between the two A LOT smaller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
