This was while$360 millionis commonly a brobdingnagian achiever for a drollery film , it could also be seem at as a monolithic dashing hopes in other way , and that ’s precisely what it was hold by the studio apartment .

Not only didPart IIImake more than $ 200 million less than the 2nd picture , but it even made $ 100 million less than the original too , which is not just what ’s expect of the third   photographic film in a belt strike serial .
