Lucas formed the visual effects company <a href="/wiki/Industrial_Light_%26_Magic" title="Industrial Light &amp; Magic">Industrial Light &amp; Magic</a> to help create the film's visual effects. <i>Star Wars</i> suffered production difficulties: the cast and crew believed the film would be a failure, and it went $3 million over budget due to delays. </p><p>Few were confident in the film's box office prospects. It was released in a small number of theaters in the United States on May 25, 1977, and quickly became a surprise blockbuster hit, leading to it being expanded to a much wider release. <i>Star Wars</i> opened to positive reviews, with praise for its special effects. It grossed $410 million worldwide during its initial run, surpassing <i><a href="/wiki/Jaws_(film)" title="Jaws (film)">Jaws</a></i> (1975) to become the <a href="/wiki/Timeline_of_highest-grossing_films" class="mw-redirect" title="Timeline of highest-grossing films">highest-grossing film</a> until the release of <i><a href="/wiki/E.T._the_Extra-Terrestrial" title="E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial">E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial</a></i> (1982); subsequent releases have brought its total gross to $775 million.

The film has been reissued many times with Lucas's support—most significantly the 20th-anniversary theatrical "Special Edition"—and the reissues have contained many changes, including new scenes, visual effects, and dialogue. </p><p>Often regarded as one of the greatest and most influential films ever made, <i>Star Wars</i> <a href="/wiki/Cultural_impact_of_Star_Wars" title="Cultural impact of Star Wars">quickly became</a> a worldwide <a href="/wiki/Popular_culture" title="Popular culture">pop culture</a> phenomenon, launching an industry of tie-in products, including <a href="/wiki/List_of_Star_Wars_books" title="List of Star Wars books">novels</a>, <a href="/wiki/List_of_Star_Wars_comics" class="mw-redirect" title="List of Star Wars comics">comics</a>, <a href="/wiki/Star_Wars_video_games" title="Star Wars video games">video games</a>, <a href="/wiki/List_of_Star_Wars_theme_parks_attractions" title="List of Star Wars theme parks attractions">amusement park attractions</a> and <a href="/wiki/Category:Star_Wars_merchandise" title="Category:Star Wars merchandise">merchandise</a> such as toys, games, and clothing.

In an article intended for the cover of the issue, <i>Time</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">&#39;</span>s <a href="/wiki/Gerald_Clarke_(author)" title="Gerald Clarke (author)">Gerald Clarke</a> wrote that <i>Star Wars</i> is "a grand and glorious film that may well be the smash hit of 1977, and certainly is the best movie of the year so far. The result is a remarkable confection: a subliminal history of the movies, wrapped in a riveting tale of suspense and adventure, ornamented with some of the most ingenious special effects ever contrived for film."
