Star Wars gets 'record' release
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith will be in cinemas in more than 100 countries by today.
It is the last installment in George Lucas' six-film, 27-year saga.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. The film, which completes the story of how Darth Vader was born, came out in a handful of countries on Wednesday with most of the world getting to see it today.
The film sold a record number of advance tickets in North America and several other countries, analysts have said.
More box office records are expected to fall when more ticket information comes out in the next few days.
The previous five Star Wars films have made a total of $3.8bn (£2bn) at box offices worldwide.
Many fans dressed as characters from the films as they queued for hours - or, in some cases, even days and weeks - for the first screenings.
