Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will top the box office for the second weekend in a row. The Rise of Skywalker is looking at a five-day Christmas holiday weekend haul of $134.75 million. While the film is still currently tracking below how Star Wars: The Last Jedi performed when it opened in 2017, it’s trajectory suggests it may ultimately surpass The Last Jedi’s $620 million domestic box office total.

 

In Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the surviving members of the Resistance faces off with the First Order once again while Rey, Finn and Poe Dameron investigate a darker evil that has returned to the galaxy. Star Wars: The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams returns to direct the final film in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. The film stars Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Anthony Daniels, Naomi Ackie, Domhnall Gleeson, Richard E. Grant, Lupita Nyong’o, Keri Russell, Joonas Suotamo, Kelly Marie Tran, Ian McDiarmid, and Billy Dee Williams.
