That makes The Last Jedi the lowest grossing recent Star Wars movie of recent years, falling behind The Force Awakens and Rogue One which made $53 million and $33 million respectively over their opening weekends in China.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi may have been the highest grossing movie of 2017 in the UK, but the eight main instalment in the long-running science fiction series hasn’t quite taken off in China.
The Force Awakens went on to gross $124 million in the county, a total The Last Jedi likely won’t beat, especially considering The Rock’s Jumanji reaches cinemas this Friday.
The original Star Wars trilogy was not released in China in 1977, only reaching cinemas over there in 2015 in an attempt to drum up excitement for The Force Awakens.
