The Last Jedi tops 2017 box office

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. Regardless, Disney will be happy occupying 3 of the top 5 US box office positions in 2017. With their acquisition of Fox, look for this trend to continue.
