I just wonder how it will be received by audiences with so many spoilers already leaked.
I've already read on several occasion that
Obi-Wan gets the high ground
In Anakins point of view, the Jedi are evil.

Or any of the others, really. It varies so widely that there is no formula you could use to estimate it properly. I've been updating my initial post with links.
Here are the listed production cost/marketing cost numbers for those five:
122/125
200/135
85/125
190/155.3
25/60

Budget is indeed a very poor corollary to marketing. Putting out a tentpole cheaply does not escape tentpole marketing. This was quite illustrative.
yeah The leaks were awful… someone needs to be terminated immediately…. I saw the entire script in video form 20 years ago .. in a movie theater no less

It was a packed room. It opened with Hyden thanking everyone for coming to see the re-release. There were a couple of guys in jedi robes mostly to smuggle in candy for their group. The movie ended with thunderous applause. I think they had a great time. It would be interesting to see how much this re-release makes this weekend.

I saw Revenge of the Sith in theaters for the first time Thursday night as I never got the chance to see it in theaters back in 2005. While objectively not the best Star Wars movie, it's my personal favorite. Mostly because of Ian McDiarmad's wonderfully over-the-top evil performance as Palpatine. While everyone else is under-acting and being quite stiff and stilted in the prequels, he goes waaaaay in the other direction into full camp. His cackling reminds me of the Evil Queen in Snow White (in her hag form).
I think ROTS should have been put into theaters in February or March, when it was quite dead at the box office. I'm sure Disney wasn't anticipating Brave New World or Snow White to bomb as much as they did, but still. They should have at least known a ROTS re-release would appeal to guys who would never be caught dead watching a Disney Princess film, and it could have been good counter-programming.

McDiarmad is totally the star of the movie. For a twenty year old movie the CG is really good. The picture looked great and the sound was incredible. ROTS is the best of the prequels and in my opinion better than most of what Disney has produced (except the Gilroy stuff and animation). It's a long movie and does drag a times. I did notice how wimpy Padme was in this movie compared to episode 2 where she's running around shooting battle droids and escaping from that cat creature.

My guess. The nostalgia factor isn’t there yet. Give it another 10 years or so.

I don't think there was a 20th anniversary re-release of Attack of the Clones. The original trilogy all had anniversary releases as well as The Phantom Menace.
I guess there will never be a re-release of Rise of Skywalker, The Last Jedi and Solo.

Well when attack of the clones turned 20 years old we were still in a pandemic and Disney was still focused 100 percent on streaming. I could see a hypothetical discussion at Disney about re-releasing it ending with them deciding it wouldn’t be worth it to to release it to theaters when they could make a instagram post telling people it was the 20th anniversary and to watch it on Disney+

10 years already? Ok now this discussion is starting to make me feel old.
And guess which Disney animated feature turns 30 this summer?
But 30 yrs since its release?? Yeah, I'm definitely feeling old.

Well, during 2020 they did re-release the Empire Strikes Back for it's 40th anniversary right in the middle of covid. There where a few theaters still open. (one guy at the snack bar treating us like we were zombies or something. He temperature checked us and scanned our phone ticket from arm's length! ) We got a private screening of it back then.

I thought Disney disowned that movie.

I didn't hear that, but wouldn't be surprised anymore.
Though according to SNL, some of the movie characters are pretty forgettable, and not drawing the M&G popularity.

I don’t think so. They still are adding her to entertainment and she’s still part of the princess line. I think its representation just matches the level of popularity (which is to say a third tier princess). It contrasts poorly with what comes before, but is represented about as well as the immediate films after (Hunchback, Hercules, Tarzan and Mulan).

Deadline estimates Sinners dropping just 13% in its second weekend to end up with about $120 million total by Sunday
Last time an original, R-rated horror movie did this kind of business was Us back in 2019 which made $127.8 million after 10 days of release
"At this point in time, Sinners owns the second-best second weekend for an R-rated horror movie after It‘s $60.1M 3-day back in September 2017. It’s the third best second weekend for Ryan Coogler after Black Panther ($111.6M) and Wakanda Forever ($66.4M). Sinners also has the second-best hold for a R-rated horror movie at -13% after Heart Eyes (+19%) and ahead of Get Out (-15%)."

It's a great movie, so I think word of mouth is carrying it. The audience I was with definitely responded to it, cheering and yelling at the screen (when characters were about to be killed) multiple times, haha.Deadline estimates Sinners dropping just 13% in its second weekend to end up with about $120 million total by Sunday
