The reason I didn't go that low is that no SW movie has ever made less than $290 million. Even though some of the public might be burned on it, this is the final episode of the series (or so we hope). Here are the U.S. Box Office totals for the first five movies...

Episode I - The Phantom Menace - $431,088,301
Episode II - Attack of the Clones - $310,676,740
Episode IV - A New Hope - $460,998,007
Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back - $290,475,067
Episode VI - Return of the Jedi - $309,306,177

Maybe it won't be as good or bring in as many people, but ticket prices are constantly on the rise. So that'll make up for it.

Oh, and go fig that my fave episode is the lowest earner. Aye aye aye.
Adjust for inflation. You'll see that AOTC was the worst money maker of the bunch.
In fact, using the adjustments, the values put them in the order they were made.
