According to comScore, they are reporting the box office intake for Disney’s “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” is an estimated $63.6M and will ring in $240M in ticket sales, a great 9% hike over last year’s holiday stretch.
Yesterday most films in the top 11 saw on average a boost over New Year’s Eve of close to 19%, a great day to go to the movies considering most people don’t have to return to work until Tuesday. Today, Monday ticket sales for the top 10 should ease between 10%-15%.
Through the end of today, “Rogue One” is expected to total close to $439M, which is 9.7% ahead of 2008’s “The Dark Knight” ($400M, first cycle domestic $533.3M) and 13% behind last year’s “Jurassic World” ($506.9M, final domestic $652.2M) through 18 days. Worldwide for the Gareth Edwards-directed stand-alone Star Wars prequel stands at $774.9M. When does this movie cross $1 billion? We hear January 13. China opens next weekend. “Force Awakens” ended its run in the Middle Kingdom at $124.1M.
Stateside, “Rogue One” has collected $50M from Imax hubs, earning $6.5M over the four-day weekend from 401 Imax screens, becoming the highest-grossing Imax release of 2016 and the third-fastest ever to that mark after “Force Awakens” and “Jurassic World”. In the end, as the second-highest-grossing pic of 2016 after Disney/Pixar sequel “Finding Dory”, “Rogue One” ($408.164M) beat “Captain America: Civil War” ($408.084M) by $80K, a feat accomplished in 16 days, whereas it took Civil War 140 days.
