Last Jedi Finishes Week in First Place with $17.8 million on Thursday
December 22, 2017
Star Wars: The Last Jedi bounced back 5% from Wednesday, earning $17.8 million on Thursday for a week-long total of $296.5 million. It is impossible to compare the film to The Force Awakens, as the seventh day in that film’s run was Christmas Eve and it fell 28% as a result. Rogue One grew a lot more, up 12% to $16.7 million. I was expecting the film to bounce back more than this. That said, it is already in seventh place on the 2017 domestic chart and will be in fourth place by the end of the weekend. Add in Christmas and it will be at over $500 million by the end of the year.
Internationally, The Last Jedi dipped 7% from Wednesday earning $18.9 million for a week-long total of $314.0 million internationally and $610.5 million worldwide. The U.K. earned another $4.0 million for a total of $54.2 million so far. Meanwhile, Brazil became the seventh market to top $10 million, with a running tally of $10.6 million, including $700,000 on Thursday. The film is now in 20th place on the 2017 international chart and 13th place on the worldwide chart.
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle also grew by 5% to $7.55 million for a two-day total of $14.76 million. On the other hand, The Greatest Showman fell, down 16% to $2.1 million for a two-day total of $4.6 million.
Coincidentally, Pitch Perfect 3 earned $2.1 million in previews, while Downsizing was well back with $425,000. Father Figures also had previews, but no numbers have been released.
