Star Wars The Phantom Menace Rerelease Box Office Shocker! Beats Zendaya’s Challengers 

It’s been 25 years??? Wow I remember seeing it day one. And I actually like it. One of the few.

I waited in line to watch this when it released. It also took me 2 days just to download and watch the trailer. I also just took my 9yr old to see it and it was just as good as the first time. Duel of the fates in the theater is a must!!

I remember 25 years ago it was so hyped up

Can't emphasize enough that star wars fans came out in droves for this movie DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT AND NEARLY ALL OTHER FRANCHISE OFFERINGS ARE AVAILABLE NEARLY 24/7, 365 ON TV AND OTHER DEVICES, VIA DISNEY+, PAY PER VIEW, AND OFTEN ON "FREE" CHANNELS. Many thousands went to the theaters last weekend but I'd bet that many many others were grabbing the vibe of the phenomenon at home or with friends or other groups, which I'm sure bumped all kinds of other revenue. And I'm beginning to think that this so called historical backlash against the prequels 20 or so years ago was mostly a chimera, fomented by disgruntled Critics and some disgruntled and vocal moviegoers whose influences manage to seep into many minds even up to this day. Sure, the pace was different. Focus was different. But they all still had a beauty and epic feel that expanded upon the relative intimacy that the original trilogy expatiated upon so well. Many many other star wars fans love the prequels, but back in the day the access to and familiarity with and use of the internet and other communication technologies was vastly less prevalent than it was even 10 years ago and their voices were largely unheard in comparison to the howls of the naysayers. It's great that everyone has their own opinions and a right to them but every faction's voters count. Prequels fans are Star Wars fans. These movies all exhibit that Star Wars magic-- in their own ways.

I saw the phantom menace on May 4.

I saw it this weekend! Totally worth it!

So damn happy for this! This is art! The sequels are in the words of Dr Malcolm: “A big pile of s#$t”

Not a shock. People always loved this wonderful film! Only a vocal few obnoxious “fans” tried to taint it upon release. The Phantom Menace is all heart and a masterpiece of sci-fi/fantasy movie making.

Did you watch the Phantom Menace this weekend?

They need to release Revenge of the Sith for its 20 year anniversary. It’s the best Star Wars movie of all time

decent movie as always but still rewatchable atleast is better then the Disney era
