According to Box Office Mojo, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace 3D had a pretty decent opening weekend, taking in $23 million, and finishing in fourth place behind The Vow, Safe House and Journey 2 (also a 3D title).
Both Matt and I saw it, and we'll be talking about the movie in episode #405 of Secret Identity. You can read Matt's review in yesterday's post.
On an interesting note, Reuters said that 51 percent of the audience was made up of people over 25 years of age, and 60 percent of the audience was male. That sounds about right to me, as I've heard a lot about dads taking their kids to see it, which is what I did.
So what do you think of the film's opening weekend performance? I'd say it's a pretty strong opening for a film that is over a decade old, but I was surprised there were not more people there when I went to see it. I distinctly remember the sold out showings when the movie originally came out, and while I did not think that would happen all over again, I did expect a little more hype around the movie.
