VIDEO : The Last Jedi Tops Rogue One At Global Box Office

Rian Johnson?s Star Wars: Episode VIII ? The Last Jedi has now passed Gareth Edwards? Rogue One: A Star Wars Story at the box office. Anticipation for Johnson?s long-awaited sequel to J.J. Abrams? Star Wars: Episode VII ? The Force Awakens was understandably high. The film finally hit theaters in December 2017 after initially being delayed from its scheduled May 2017 release, which Lucasfilm did following Episode VII?s ground-breaking success in December 2015, becoming the highest-grossing film of all-time domestically.
