The 3D re-release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace brought in $23 million during its opening weekend in the U.S., earning it the #4 spot behind The Vow, Safe House, and Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. In international markets, The Phantom Menace 3D made $20.5 million. That's a total worldwide gross of $43.5 million for the 3D re-release's first few days.

As Box Office Mojo notes, this new release improved Episode I's placement on the all-time domestic gross chart.
