'The Last Jedi' will be the 3rd highest-grossing movie of the year by Christmas day (DIS).
Despite the movie not being as universally praised by the hardcore "Star Wars" fans as "The Force Awakens," Disney/Lucasfilm's "The Last Jedi" will easily win the Christmas holiday weekend at the box office.
The movie took in an estimated $68.4 million by Sunday, and will have earned $100.6 million by Monday, according to BoxOfficePro.
That continues to keep pace behind "The Force Awakens" (around a 25%-30%) and ahead of last year's "Star Wars" release, "Rogue One" (20%-25%). Though it's a steep (for "Star Wars" standards) 69% drop from the movie's opening weekend last week, it won't make a difference for the movie's box office power as "The Last Jedi" closes in on a $1 billion worldwide gross.
