There was little let-up on Friday as the film brought in an additional $35.5 million, according to estimates. When the dust settles, Episode III just may break another record; the biggest two-day total. That record is currently held by Spider-Man at $83 million.
While fans flooded the box office, pirates launched their evil plans to profit from the film. The BBC reports that police in Malaysia took down a DVD pirate outfit in that country on Friday. Thousands of copies of Episode III were among the half million pirated DVDs seized by authorities.
While the cops captured the illegal treasure at a warehouse in Kuala Lumpur on Friday, the pirates had fled the scene by the time the storm troopers had arrived. Yoda had no comment.
