While Disney calculates the losses from the film “Mulan“and sends 28 thousand people out into the cold because of the closure of amusement parks, money is brought by a proven classic from George Lucas. This is the original trilogy “Star Wars“.
In 2023, fans celebrate 40 years of the film “The Empire Strikes Back“(The empire strikes back), which many fans consider the best in the franchise. During this time, the tape received several reprints and earned more than $ 550 million, becoming one of the most successful sequels of all time.
Given the epidemiological constraints and the closure of most cinemas, the industry had to adjust to the new environment.
For example, in the spring and summer in the United States there were movie parkings (open-air cinemas for cars). Cinemas were also limited in China.
In such conditions, it would be madness to release large films for distribution, so they began to play proven classics on the screens. Because of this, “The Empire Strikes Back”, “Jurassic Park” and the original “Ghostbusters” became the leaders in the summer in the USA. Also popular were “Back to the Future” and “Jaws”
In the fall, Disney made the decision to re-release the fifth episode of Star Wars. And people went to him again. The film grossed over $ 1.9 million in North America this year. Thanks to this, “The Empire Strikes Back” ousted from the first place “Jurassic Park”, which earned $ 1.386 million in 2023.
