MeBeJedi your right. Back in '76 when 20th Century Fox attempted to distribute the film in the U.S., fewer than 40 theatres agreed to show it. To get more people to show it Fox said if they didn't take Star Wars they wouldn't get the right to show "The Other Side of Midnight" which was going to be a blockbuster. I think I made like 10% of what Star Wars made.
