    Coming as little surprise, The Last Jedi has topped the US box office with $533,089,228. Worldwide it’s already up to 3rd place. Perhaps more surprisingly is that the sequel is down by almost one third on The Force Awakens – which may be down to lack of interest or fan outcry over certain elements to the plot.

  • The Last Jedi has second biggest opening ever despite mixed audience reception

    It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Star Wars: The Last Jedi had one of the biggest opening weekends ever, second only to The Force Awakens. What IS surprising is just how mixed the audience reception has been.
