AOTC Domestic Gross- $302,191,252
AOTC Production Budget- $115 million (officially; unofficially, people with no reason to lie assure me the budget for all the prequels was closer to $100 mill even)

Anybody who's ashamed of those numbers should have his head examined. It more than doubled the production budget in both the domestic and international territories. Frankly, AOTC was in some ways always the riskiest movie. Episode I was going to benefit from being the first Star Wars movie in a long time and Episode III would benefit from having most of the cool stuff people were waiting for. But AOTC was destined to do least because it had the least riding on it in terms of public expectations and marketing. It hit a lower figure than TPM, no doubts there, but I don't think many people found that too surprising.
