Sep 15,2023 5:11 pm

The latest Star Wars blockbuster raked in $374m (£288m) in global ticket sales in its opening weekend, falling short of prior films in the trilogy.

It is expected to end a strong year for distributor Disney, with a string of hits grossing More Than $1bn.

Starring Daisy Ridley and John Boyega , the film is The Final chapter in the Skywalker saga begun by George Lucas in 1977. It is set One Year after its predecessor.

The Movie , directed by JJ Abrams, has drawn mixed reviews from critics with some describing the plot as unimaginative.

In North America , The World 's largest film market, The Rise of Skywalker pulled in about $176m.

Jeff Bock, senior box office analyst at Exhibitor Relations Co, told Reuters the opening weekend takings marked a "great number for December".

But he added the US sales showed a 20% decline from the previous instalment.

"That's a cause for concern no matter how big your franchise is. "

Released in 2015, The Force Awakens took about $517m in its opening weekend. The Last Jedi, released two years later, scored $450m in its global debut.

Despite the softer debut, many fans showed their enthusiasm for the Star Wars franchise.
