Ultimately, those weeknight performances are what allowed the latest Star Wars film to eclipse the $500 million mark and rank as one of the highest grossing movies in domestic history. That other Disney juggernaut made $174.8 million on opening weekend but only $53.8 million during the rest of the week. Those Monday-to-Thursday totals permitted Rise of Skywalker to remain in step with those 11 other films, as well as other lucrative films like Beauty and the Beast. If you go through each week of Rise of Skywalker’s run, the weekly totals are always much more impressive than the film’s weekend showings. That’s pretty crazy, right? Considering all 11 of the other films had higher opening weekend grosses than Rise of Skywalker had.Īnd it wasn’t just a first-week fluke. Captain America: Civil War ($44.2 million).Avengers: Age of Ultron ($44.4 million).Star Wars: The Last Jedi ($76.6 million).Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker ($112.4 million).Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($142.9 million).In fact, let’s go ahead and rank the Monday-through-Thursday first-week performance of every film that managed at least $175 million on opening weekend: Jurassic World made $208.8 million on opening weekend, but only $87.4 million the rest of the week. Star Wars: The Last Jedi made $220 million on opening weekend, but only $76.6 million between Monday and Thursday.
Avengers: Age of Ultron made $191.3 million on opening weekend, but only $44.4 million the following four days. Meanwhile, Rise of Skywalker turned out an incredible $112.4 million four-day showing.Īs you go down the list, you’ll see this pattern repeat. Yet, during the following four days of that first week, Civil War only managed $44.2 million. For example, Captain America: Civil War outperformed Rise of Skywalker on opening weekend with a $179.1 showing. The key, as previously stated, was the weeknight revenue.
