WOW!!! Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Makes $1 Billion At The Box Office

 

It’s been one success after another for Disney’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and the Gareth Edwards’ prequel has now entered the exclusive $1 billion club, sitting at a total of $1,011,301,563 at the worldwide box office after about roughly 40 days in theaters.

While not terribly surprising it’s definitely exciting to hear. The studio took a big gamble on Rogue One and while rumours about extensive reshoots during the summer threatened to cast a shadow over it, the film was able to pull through and mark another huge win for the Star Wars franchise. Though it’s still miles away from The Force Awakens‘ massive $2 billion haul, this is no doubt an incredibly impressive figure and one that’s definitely got the studio smiling.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story isn’t likely to climb much higher at this point. It’s already beginning to make its exit from most theaters and Disney is now starting to shift the focus to Star Wars: Episode VIII, which arrives in December.
