Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’s Thursday night preview brought in around $40 million in North American box offices. The final chapter in the Skywalker saga sought to bring a close to the Star Wars film franchise for the foreseeable future.
First reported by The Hollywood Reporter, The Rise of Skywalker had the fifth-best Thursday night performance ever, and while it didn’t beat The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi’s takes, it did beat out Rogue One’s $29 million preview night haul. The Rise of Skywalker is set to release in around 3,200 theaters over the holiday break.
