This Weekend, The Box Office Hit Is ‘The Empire Strikes Back’

The movie, which also topped the box office 40 years ago, is a big hit with the drive-in crowd. “Empire’s dominance follows Ghostbusters’s success over the July 4 weekend and Jurassic Park and Jaws’ victories the weekend before. Black Panther and Inside Out also made this weekend’s box-office list, with drive-ins being the main venue for moviegoers to enjoy anything on a big screen during the coronavirus pandemic as big theater chains like AMC wisely keep pushing back their reopenings.” – The AV Club
