What the press says and the public's reaction to the Film and Soundtrack CD
STAR WARS: Episode 1 The PHANTOM MENACE - Success or slightly damp squib?
In America due to George Lucas and 20th Century Fox's insistence, theatres have had to agree to show "Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace" for at least 12 weeks and the summer's big blockbuster is barely halfway through its contractually mandated run.Despite a lot of negative criticism, box-office returns haven't been enough to make the film the unprecedented blockbuster some had predicted, yet ticket sales continue to be impressive enough to please exhibitors.
By Monday, July 5th, the film had made $ 373.2 million in the United States, placing it fourth on the all-time list of movie blockbusters. [The film opened on May 19th and will open in the UK on July 15th].
The Phantom Menace set a box-office record, bringing in $ 28.5 million on its first day. Although its opening weekend take didn't break the $ 72.1 million record of "Lost World: Jurassic Park," the film has reached the $100 million and $ 200 million marks faster than any film in history.
However it is not expected that the film will challenge "Titanic" and its position as the all-time moneymaker. Nor will it match the 15 weeks "Titanic" spent as No. 1; "Phantom Menace" spent three weeks atop the charts before being supplanted by "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me."
