The new "Star Wars" DVD and video game grossed an estimated $210
million worldwide consumer spending their first week in stores, 20th
Century Fox Home Entertainment reported Tuesday.
"Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith," the sixth and final
"Star Wars" film to appear on DVD, was released November 1 in the U.S.,
Canada, the U.K., Germany, Australia and Latin America, as was the
video game "Star Wars Battlefront II."
Fox provided no breakdown between the DVD and the video game, nor did
it issue unit sales. Jim Ward, senior vp of Lucasfilm Ltd. and
president of LucasArts, said sales in many territories "were nearly
double what we initially expected," and that first-week sales of the
video game are running 40% ahead of last year's original "Star Wars
Battlefront" game.
