The Rise of Skywalker, which debuted big (but still behind both The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi), just set a new box office record for Christmas Day.
Episode IX is now the second-best Christmas Day earner ever, per Deadline, with an estimated $35 million.
This is behind The Force Awakens’ $49.3 million but ahead of The Last Jedi’s $27.4 million. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story earned $25.8 million on Christmas Day back in 2016.
