Hvornår kom star wars a new hope ud?
25. maj 1977
Star Wars (film)
Star Wars havde premiere onsdag den 25. maj 1977 i mindre end 32 biografer og yderligere otte om torsdagen og fredagen. Kurtz sagde i 2002: "Det ville være latterligt i dag." Den slog straks kasserekorder og blev i realiteten en af de første blockbusterfilm, og Fox fremskyndede planerne om at udvide udgivelsen af filmen. Lucas selv var ikke i stand til at forudsige, hvor stor succes Star Wars ville blive. Efter at have besøgt optagelserne til Steven Spielbergs film Close Encounters of the Third Kind var Lucas sikker på, at Close Encounters ville overgå den endnu ikke udgivne Star Wars i kassen. Spielberg var uenig og mente, at Star Wars ville blive det større hit. Lucas foreslog, at de byttede 2,5 % af overskuddet på hinandens film. Spielberg accepterede byttet og modtager stadig 2,5 % af overskuddet fra Star Wars.

Star Wars debuted on Wednesday, May 25, 1977, in fewer than 32 theaters, and eight more on Thursday and Friday. Kurtz said in 2002, "That would be laughable today." It immediately broke box office records, effectively becoming one of the first blockbuster films, and Fox accelerated plans to broaden its release. Lucas himself was not able to predict how successful Star Wars would be. After visiting the set of the Steven Spielberg film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Lucas was sure Close Encounters would outperform the yet-to-be-released Star Wars at the box office. Spielberg disagreed, and felt Star Wars would be the bigger hit. Lucas proposed they trade 2.5% of the profit on each other's films; Spielberg took the trade, and still receives 2.5% of the profits from Star Wars.
