Revenge of the Sith just became the second highest grossing re-release ever, outperforming new movies

Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.

It seems like Star Wars fans really wanted to experience the birth of Darth Vader on the big screen. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Revenge of the Sith was re-released last weekend and it has already become the second highest grossing re-release ever.

The film, officially titled Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, exceeded everyone's expectations by grossing $25 million only in US theaters, with an additional $17 million from the worldwide box office. Only the re-release of James Cameron's Titanic in 2012 made more than that (a mammoth $350 million, to be exact).
