'The Rise of Skywalker' trails other 'Star Wars' sequels at box office - New York Post

The force isn’t as strong with this one.

“Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” topped the box office over the weekend despite having a weaker opening than the saga’s two previous films.

Disney’s newest “Star Wars” sequel raked in $373.5 million at theaters worldwide, including $175.5 million in domestic ticket sales, according to Comscore data released Sunday.

That domestic total is about 29 percent lower than 2015’s “The Force Awakens,” which earned nearly $248 million in its opening weekend, and roughly 20 percent below the $220 million debut for “The Last Jedi” in 2017.

But the ninth chapter in the main “Star Wars” series still saw the third-biggest December opening weekend ever, right behind its predecessors in the franchise.

“The Rise of Skywalker” has suffered from more mixed reviews than the other two films in the sequel trilogy. Only 57 percent of critics’ reviews have been positive, according to the aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, compared with 91 percent for “The Last Jedi” and 93 percent for “The Force Awakens.”

“This is such a beloved story ingrained in pop culture, and you’re never going to satisfy everyone,” Disney head of distribution Cathleen Taff told The Wall Street Journal.

“Jumanji: The Next Level” finished second at the box office this weekend with $58.7 million in ticket sales worldwide and $26.1 million domestically, according to Comscore.

The animated smash hit “Frozen 2” — Disney’s sixth billion-dollar film of the year — fell to third place at the domestic box office with a $12.3 million weekend.
