It fell behind a 2016 Captain America movie.
Yikes.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’s opening weekend will land south of both The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, according to domestic box office estimates Disney sent out this morning.
The Rise of Skywalker’s first weekend pulled in $175.5 million in North America, $90 million of that from the Thursday night early-bird showings and then Friday’s full premiere. Though it’s an estimated total, $175 million is still short of the top 10 among domestic opening weekends all time, behind 2016’s Captain America: Civil War.
It’s also not in the same tax bracket as Skywalker’s trilogy predecessors — The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi both took more than $200 million in their debut weekends, good for third and fourth in that (domestic) category, all time. At this point, the opening weekend top 10 is largely an intramural competition, with Disney films accounting for 13 of the top 14, and six of those in the last two years.
The JJ Abrams Star Wars franchise will go down in history as one of the worst mishandlings of a film franchise in all time. They will teach you in business class “this is how you destroy a good thing.”
We can’t pin it all on the fact that these films pushed a radical political agenda of feminism and race-mixing.
They were also simply terribly written and boring.
This poor opening is the nail in the coffin of the franchise.
Expect to be hearing a lot less about Star Wars in the years to come.
I haven’t seen the film. But I’m gonna go ahead and assume it’s as bad as everyone says it is.
I will probably watch it at some point, just to know for myself. But it will probably be a while.
