That's the final tally for Episode 3's first weekend...domestically! Internationally it did over 300 million this weekend. The movie has blown away all sorts of box office records and it's just getting warmed up! All this despite a direct digital version of the movie (which is of higher quality than anything you can see in theaters) being available on the net.

This phenomenon of course supports my theory that if an artist (be it musician, actor, director, or game developer) produces a quality product, piracy will have a negligible impact on their profits. Then again, one has to take into account the fact that it was the final episode...err third episode??? you get the idea...of the Star Wars Saga.

By now you should have seen the movie. So what are your thoughts? Share the wealth. Just watch the spoilers!!!
