On Tuesday, Star Wars: The Last Jedi passed $500 million worldwide as the newest installment of the Star Wars franchise added $42 million to its total. On Wednesday the film added another $20 million to its international box office numbers giving it $295 million overseas and $573 million globally. Crossing the $300 million mark internationally today, a $600 million worldwide total is fast approaching.
Disney-Lucasfilm’s “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” brought in more than $220 Million in its opening weekend making it the second biggest opening day total behind only Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($247M).
On its fourth day of domestic release, Star Wars: The Last Jedi earned $21.8 million bringing its four-day total to $241.8 million. That’s just under the $247.9 million opening weekend of The Force Awakens. The five-day total in North America was $262 million, earning another $20.3 million on its fifth day of release. The Last Jedi earned $16.9 million yesterday for a six-day total of $278.8 million domestically.
It took five days for The Last Jedi to make what The Force Awakens earned in just three. Of course, when you’re dealing with a movie that reached $220 million in three days and has more than $500 million worldwide in just under a week, it’s a little hard to compete.
