When Star Wars: The Force Awakens hit theaters late last year, the Chinese gross of $124.1 million was the second highest international market in the world, behind the $163.4 million take in the U.K. With two Chinese actors, Donnie Yen and Wen Jiang, starring in Rogue One, it’s possible that Rogue One’s Chinese box office tally could be even higher than Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Disney and LucasFilm’s Star Wars spin-off Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was a bona fide hit right away, with an impressive opening weekend of $155 million, nearly making back its $200 million budget in its first weekend at the domestic box office.
Today we have word that Rogue One has passed a new box office milestone, crossing the $600 million worldwide mark.
From Lucasfilm comes the first of the Star Wars standalone films, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, an all-new epic adventure.
