Down $51M, or down 18%. This, of course, could be attributed to the massive hype behind a new SW that TFA had. However, now we have the totals as of the 24th, which accounts for two weekends and one set of weekdays. TLJ is currently sitting at $380M in foreign markets. At this same point in time, TFA was sitting at $546M. So, the difference has grown to $166M in just 7 extra days, which means it is now down by 30%. Seems the foreign markets aren't exactly thrilled with the movie, either. In total, by this point in its life, TFA was sitting pretty with ~$1.1B. TLJ sits at ~$745M, a difference of $355M, or down 32%. I think that gap is just going to continue to grow. Disney is not liking this. |
It definitely won't be doing as well as The Force Awakens, but it will still reach over $1 billion worldwide.
