Rogue One is one with the Force! The first Star Wars “spinoff” film from Lucasfilm has passed the $500 million mark globally.
The film took in $64 million over the 3-day weekend to put it right at $318 million domestically and $555 million globally. These numbers put it at 52 all time domestically in just its second weekend of release.
The Rogue One Box Office totals also show that it has become the 6th fastest film to $300 million. With overall positive reviews and the amount of money it has made so far, it most likely means that Lucasfilm has the green light for any Star Wars film that they want to make.
Now let’s see what week 3 holds in store for the film.
