In response to "35 years ago: no new releases (Rustler's Rhapsody and Rappin' top the chart in their second week)" by Max

40 years ago: (ltd): Star Wars V - The Empire Strikes Back ($4.9m), The Shining, The Gong Show Movie

May 21/23, 1980
This is the earliest memory I have of movies in the theater. Absolutely eye-popping. To me, this is what started the 80s.
(I'd forgotten it opened in limited release, and against The Shining).
