Star Wars’ feverish
As fans worldwide queue for ‘Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith,’ we look back at the top 10 theater engagements for ‘Episode II: Attack of the Clones.’ Interestingly, the Chinese in Hollywood didn’t make the top 10 for the opening weekend figure, ranking only 21, but the fabled venue rose to No. 8 when counting the whole week.
It’s worth noting that the Chinese was only one theater at the time and these others are all large multiscreen complexes.
