The film was originally released in 1977 with the title Star Wars. The subtitles Episode IV and A New Hope were only added to the opening crawl in subsequent re-releases.
When the film hit cinemas around the globe, it wasn't called Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, but just Star Wars (1977). Lucas agreed to call the film just Star Wars, in case the film bombed at the Box Office and 20th Century Fox decided not to commission a sequel due to poor Box Office results.
