It’s certainly been a good holiday season
for the folks over at Disney. After opening to much
praise from fans and
critics alike, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has proven
to be quite the juggernaut at the box office,
both in North America and around the world. Quickly racking up an enormous
profit for the studio and not looking to slow down anytime soon, we imagine
that all involved couldn’t be happier with how things turned out.
There is more good news to report on. After
a strong
showing on Friday, the final box office numbers are expected to place
the Anthology film at a whopping $441 million domestically. A staggering
number, to be sure, and one that now puts it in second place on the list of
2016’s highest grossing movies. It’s dethroned Captain America: Civil War to take the
spot as Marvel’s effort sits at $408
million – and isn’t too far off from Finding Dory‘s
$486 million.
Furthermore, analysts expect Rogue One to
reach the $500 million mark before its domestic run is complete, meaning it’ll
easily take the crown for 2016’s highest grossing movie – at least
domestically. As far as the worldwide numbers go, it’s only sitting at #10, and
while it may climb up a few more spots, it’s hard to see it receiving the top
honor as it will on the domestic list. Still, this is a terrific performance
from the prequel and one that should be seen as a tremendous success for all
involved – especially given all the worries and unease surrounding it back in
the summer.
