After two years’ worth of far-flung fan theories and enough pent-up excitement to sink a Mega Star Destroyer, Star Wars: The Last Jedi is finally here and we couldn’t be more excited. Rian Johnson’s entry into the Skywalker saga is everything we hoped it’d be and more, delivering an epic, dazzling and beautifully shot adventure set in that galaxy far, far away which we absolutely loved.
Audiences felt the same way, apparently, as it’s being reported that over its opening weekend, Episode VIII pulled in a staggering $450 million at the worldwide box office. Split up, that’s $220 million domestically (falling just short of The Force Awakens‘ $248 million) and $230 million internationally, proving that Lucasfilm’s sci-fi franchise is a juggernaut in all parts of the world. With solid word of mouth and very positive reviews, it’s looking like the money’s just going to keep on rolling in.
