By the way, how much was the whole production of Episode III? I'm just curious because a film like Terminator 2 was around 100 million to make and that was over 10 years ago!
I saw on CNN it made 14.4 million this weekend, third at the box office, and like 331 million world wide.
Crazy.
No, I'm saying they released the OT to make sure they had funds to complete ROTS. They wouldn't have had the people to work on remastering the OT, because everyone was behind schedule on getting the massive amounts of digital shots done for ROTS. Terminator was made for 100 million but I'm sure didn't have 1/10th the digital shots that ROTS had and was shot in 'the real world' meaning they could just walk onto an LA street and start shooting.
