Lucasfilm’s latest Star Wars offering, The Last Jedi has already crossed the first barrier in the path of reaching a giant box-office figure! The Disney movie has gone past $500 million, on worldwide box-office, even before completing the first seven days of its release! Directed by Rian Johnson, the second film in the new trilogy, was released last week, on December 15th.
As per the reports by the online portal, Variety, the movie has so far collected around $536.7 million!
Although, its also the most talked about movie in the entire Star Wars saga, since the fans have been divided on the movie’s depiction of some of their most favourite characters. Critics have given it full thumbs up, while some fans have liked it and others have just called it ‘bad’!
Still the rapid earnings of the movie is a proof that audiences is going to the theaters and they are liking it!
Meanwhile, when coming onto the domestic earnings, The Last Jedi’s force is really strong at the moment, and it has amassed around $261.9 million in the North America.
Internationally, the movie is even more stronger, by generating around $274.8 million, from the overseas markets!
That said, its still very early to say that it will come close to its predecessor, The Force Awakens’s benchmark figure of $2,068.2 million ($2 billion). Its too far at the moment.
