Very true, it did not break the record.  But then neither did Titanic!  Gross
earning records aren't broken on opening weekend.  They are broken over time
and the main determinant is stamina.  Does Ep 1 have the ability to rake in
the people for 2 months?  I would guess that it tapers off before Titanic did,
just due to the fact that there are more teeny-boppers in love with Leo than
all the Ewoks on Endor.

Not to mention the fact that Titanic opened up in December to very little
competition.  It also had almost a whole year until video release to keep
people going to the theatres.

The Phantom Menace has a whole slew of summer movies to deal with and the
video is rumored to come out in Nov. for Christmas giving it only a 6 and a
half month run.

Merchandising on the otherhand, now that's a whole new story.
