And, cable & streaming channels still have them available.
Pretty successful, I'd say.

...in Hollywood on that day 48 years ago.
The line was very long, I got in to see the second screening.
Suffice to say, the crowd went wild for that film.

It was fun. Star Wars made going to the movies fun - and Hollywood would never be the same.
