BOX OFFICE: STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI (Obviously) Stays At #1 Despite Plenty Of Stiff Competition

As expected, Star Wars: The Last Jedi is still dominating the box office with a solid $24.6 million on its second Friday. Now, analysts believe the movie will make $102 million over the four day Christmas weekend but an additional $4 million being added to that means the sequel would hit $400 million domestically by the end of Monday. For now, it's earned a total of $321.2 million which is great. 

The Rian Johson helmed release faces an awful lot of competition this weekend as Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is expected to earn $43 million by Monday and a total of $60 million since opening earlier this week. Pitch Perfect 3, meanwhile, had a $10.6 million opening day for a total of $35 million by Christmas. The Hugh
Jackman led The Greatest Showman is underperforming with $20 - $25 million.  

How high will Star Wars: The Last Jedi go? That remains to be seen but despite the mixed response from fans, it's clear moviegoers are enjoying checking out this latest chapter of the Skywalker Saga!

@richal13 -

The 77% drop is insane, it means this had a worst drop than the prequels

@HugoStiglitz - 2nd weekend drop is what really matters (and estimation is in, do the math, it's nowhere near the 70s). the friday thing is almost never taken into consideration, but sure, we need more neagtive click baity crap, so everyone is reporting on it.
