The Power of the Dark Side...

...was evident at the box office. Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith has already grossed $300,000,000 + worldwide (including $158 million domestically). Not every record fell (Spiderman still has the top weekend ever), but it should have a real shot at the $400 million domestic mark, though $1 billion worldwide will be tough sledding (only Return of the King has ever achieved that). In other box-office news, Ridley Scott has issued a formal apology for Kingdom of Heaven, and Jane Fonda's much-hated Monster-In-Law inexplicably held on to number two, proving once again that guys will go see anything if it earns them points with their dates...
