Star Wars: The Last Jedi surpasses $745 million in Box office earnings

Star Wars: The Last Jedi continues taking the Box office by Force.

Star Wars has ruled the galaxy for over 40 years now, with no sign of slowing anytime soon. Disney merged with Lucasfilm in 2012, conquering the Box office in the process, with The Force Awakens and Rogue One hauling in loads of revenue. Star Wars: The Last Jedi is no different, with the film off to a lightspeed-like start.

According to early reports as of Christmas Eve, The Last Jedi topped the $745 billion mark in worldwide earnings.

"North American has hit $365 million in its first 10 days as of Sunday with the studio projecting another $32 million on Christmas Day on Monday — making it the third highest domestic release in 2017 following “Beauty and the Beast” with $504 million and “Wonder Woman” at $412 million."

Keep in mind, The Last Jedi has only been out 10 days, so imagine what it would have accomplished for 2017 if released earlier in the year.
