Rogue’s Day One International Numbers are a Fast Start to $1 Billion

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story earning just over 50% of what The Force Awakens earned could be a trend for Rogue One, as the film earned the tenth biggest opening day in Australia with $4.78 million, or 50.5% of The Force Awakens’ record. Both of those figures are in Australian dollars. Its Australian opening day was $3.55 million in American dollars. The film also opened in the U.K. with $5.0 million, compared to the $14.3 million The Force Awakens earned during its opening day in the U.K. This is quite a bit lower, but The Force Awakens was an absolute monster hit in the U.K. The film earned $3.1 million in France, compared to $5.2 million for The Force Awakens. Rogue One also earned $3.1 million in Germany, compared to $7.1 million for The Force Awakens.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story isn’t living up to The Force Awakens, but no one expected that. Based on these very early numbers, $1 billion worldwide is still a very likely target. We will of course be keeping track of the film’s worldwide run, paying particular attention to how it compares to the previous film and biggest hits of the year.
