With Monday’s grosses factored into the equation, Disney/Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi has topped Disney/Marvel’s Iron Man 3 to become the No. 12 movie on the all-time worldwide chart. The global total on the Rian Johnson-helmed Episode VIII is now $1,215.3M. The running cumes are split at $574.5M domestic and $640.8M at the international box office.
Jedi is now running 34% behind The Force Awakens and 32% ahead of Rogue One at the same stage of overseas play. It had a better than estimated weekend session at $65.9M offshore versus Sunday’s $64.7M projection. On Monday, it added $8.6M globally ($1.8M domestic/$6.8M intl).
After a lackluster performance in its China debut this past weekend, the film now counts the Middle Kingdom as the No. 6 offshore market with $31M since adding $2.4M on Monday. It’s still a disappointing performance that is currently trailing the No. 5 market, Australia, by about $9M.
Elsewhere, business is beginning to taper off in the 5th week of play, although Japan continues to throw off solid numbers and is closing in on France as the No. 3 market with $54.5M through yesterday. The UK remains in the lead at $103.4M, followed by Germany with $73.8M, France at $57.9M, Japan as noted above and Australia with $40.1M. Setting China aside, this is the same grouping of markets that responded tops to both TFA and Rogue.
