‘Star Wars: Rise Of Skywalker’ Box Office: Thursday Night Scores $40 Million – Deadline
3rd Update: Disney’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is seeing an estimated $90M Friday per industry sources, which includes last night’s $40M. This currently puts the J.J. Abrams directed film between $190M-$195M for the weekend, which can’t be dinged especially at this time of year: It’s the third best opening ever for December. That number is ahead of tracking’s low $170M-$175M figure, and just under the $200M that the industry was expecting. Believe me, exhibition isn’t complaining about empty multiplexes now.
