The Last Jedi Hauls In $220 Million, Becomes Second Biggest Opening Ever In North America
The Last Jedi amassed huge success at the North American box office this weekend, with a debut of $220 million. This marks it as the second highest domestic opening ever for a film.
It's also the fourth film to open above $200 million domestically, trailing behind its predecessor The Force Awakens, which opened with $248 million. The other two include The Avengers ($207 million) and Jurassic World ($208 million). The Last Jedi is also doing incredibly well internationally, where it has reached the milestone of $230 million. This means that globally, its three-day haul has been as high as $450 million.
