The Sith Hits the Fans in the UK as well.
  • It set the weekend record in the UK, and performed almost as well in France. It was a hair lower in Germany, but of course in Germany they root for the Sith, so they see it as a light-hearted adventure story with a happy ending, and they view that "Imperial March" as a sappy love ballad.
  • Actually, all kidding aside, it kicked ass in Germany, where it took in 85% of the total box office. That was actually better than the UK, where it "only" took in about 70%.
  • But what is mind-boggling about the UK numbers is the fact that Sith was only showing on 490 screens - that's $41,000 per screen! It only took in $29,000 per screen in the USA over the same period.
