JANUARY 2 REPORT: Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker remains on course to cross the $1bn barrier at the global box office following a mighty New Year’s Day performance that boosted the global running total to $815.4m.
The sci-fi saga brought in $30.4m globally on Wednesday, adding $13.5m internationally for a $407.9m running total and $16.9m in North America for $407.5m. It crossed $800m in its 15th day of worldwide release, and $400m on its 13th day of release in North America.
