Strikes back was.

Star Wars - $307,263,857
The Empire Strikes Back - $209,3798,025
Return of the Jedi - $252,583,6171

Numbers came from BOM. (And if you're wondering - yes, even if you adjust for inflation.)

I thought it was a good movie, but the theater wasn't packed for a Friday night. It certainly wasn't horrible. {nm} pennystocks2 Dec 23, 02:20

How dare women be brave and heroic and make good strategic plans that men screw up by blabbing to the enemy? {nm} BSmurf Dec 23, 12:50
