According to Box Office Mojo, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has made $477 million at the domestic box office, which easily puts it ahead of the $431 million take of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
Nobody was expecting Rogue One: A Star Wars Story to do what The Force Awakens box office numbers did, since it was the first live-action Star Wars movie to be released in a decade and there was a crazy amount of hype leading up to it.
On the worldwide side of things, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story still has some way to go in order to catch Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, which has a total take of $983 million.
In as much as a Star Wars movie can be considered a risk, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was a risk, but one that paid off in a big way.
