Even so, it's ahead of Rogue One both worldwide and more importantly in the US where studios retain more of their profits. And it's not done yet.
It's not going to hit TFA levels of success, but that's understandable. TFA had a lot riding on its shoulders. It was the first SW film to continue from the OT. It was also the movie charged with washing away the bad taste left by the prequel trilogy.
I'd say it was successful in both which is why it was so huge. To me, TLJ is still the far superior film, and regardless of its predecessor's success, it's a bonafide blockbuster.
