It quickly became apparent after the midnight launch of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, that the spin-off movie would do great business for Disney in theaters. Thanks to the recent report from Variety, we now know how well.
The movie surpassed Captain America: Civil War in the states during the holidays with a haul of over $408 million. That makes the movie the second biggest movie of the year in the US, only beaten by another Disney movie, Finding Dory.
Disney has now become the first movie studio to gross more than $7 billion in a year.
