Rian Johnson's Star Wars: The Last Jedi isn't quite putting up the same numbers as J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens (one of the most successful blockbusters of all time), but it's going to be far from a money-losing endeavor. The movie dropped about 27% percent this week, but it still added a stately $52.4 million to the domestic total, which currently stands at $517.1 million. That stands as less than half of the global total, which actually crossed the $1 billion mark this weekend (one of 32 films to ever do so), and it also surpassed the international numbers of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. It's currently ranked third within the franchise overall, but should pass Rogue One: A Star Wars Story in the next week.


If you compare the numbers this week to the numbers from last week, though, you'll notice an interesting phenomenon. While Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Pitch Perfect 3, and Downsizing all saw their totals drop, seven out of the Top 10 actually saw their totals go up in comparison. In fact, the titles mentioned are the only three in the Top 18 to make less this week than last week. The fact that last Sunday was Christmas Eve surely had something to do with it, but it's still an interesting trend nonetheless.
