great weekend? maybe good, but great?
if that was a 'great weekend' I wonder what they would call SW 1997 release opening weekend? armageddon?
kinda reminds me back in 2002, when AOTC lost badly to spider-man, the talking point was 'Well, this is a 25 year old franchise so its hard to keep up". And apologists around the world parroted this talking point.
so in 1999, TPM was #1 and apologists insist it had nothing to do with the legacy of the OT and it was the 'new generation'. but just a mere 3 years later, star wars was this old, creaky decrepit franchise heading for the sunset!? bwaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahaaaa
