Possibly. Another way to look at it is the first movie drew in attention and more people to watch the second one. Then by the time the 3rd one came out there are all those people that have seen or heard about the first 2 movies.

Like I bet in 1983, a few months before Return of the Jedi came out, there was a lot more hype for star wars then a few months before A new Hope in 1977.

But Return of the Jedi did worse at the box office.
