Domestic release schedule correction: Star Wars
Once again there is a problem with the upcoming release schedule on Box Office Mojo.
This is a correction for Box Office Mojo.
- Movie Title: Star Wars. This is the 50th anniversary re-release in 2027. It is incorrectly listed on BOM as 2027 Re-release.
- Link to movie on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076759/ (incorrectly linked to https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30061561/ )
- Link to movie on Box Office Mojo (if listed): should be under https://www.boxofficemojo.com/releasegroup/gr259871493/ (currently listed as https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl1300332545/ )
- Grosses in USD: Not applicable; this release is scheduled for February 2027.
- Valid evidence of correct data: The description of 2027 Re-release at https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl1300332545/ says, "An audiobook of 'Star Wars: A New Hope' narrated by Tony Roberts." As far as I know, in the history of cinema, an audiobook has never received a theatrical release. As the following pages indicate, what Disney will be releasing to theaters on February 19, 2027 is the original Star Wars film from 1977: https://variety.com/2026/film/news/star-wars-imax-70mm-starfighter-new-hope-1236854683/ ; https://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-50th-anniversary-theatrical-release ; https://www.imax.com/movie/star-wars-50th-anniversary
In other words ... not the audiobook.
I'm also skeptical that the Star Wars re-release will be limited rather than wide, but I don't have specific evidence about that yet.
On a general note, would it be correct to say that Box Office Mojo is a fairly low priority for IMDb in terms of getting proofread?
