The latest instalment in the āStar Warsā franchise is off to a flying start at the box office, new figures have revealed.
āThe Last Jediā has already won rave reviews since its debut last week, and itās now been confirmed that here in the UK - where it had the widest cinema release of all time, showing in more than 700 cinemas - the filmās first few days have given it the third-biggest opening weekend of all time.
Pulling in around Ā£27.5 million, āThe Last Jediā now sits behind the 2017 remake of āBeauty And The Beastā (no. 2) and, of course, the last āStar Warsā film āThe Force Awakensā, which currently holds the title of biggest UK opening weekend ever.
This is no doubt music to Disneyās ears, as the film company was behind all three of these films.
Outside of Britain, āThe Last Jediā has been even more successful. In the US its opening weekend puts it at number two on the all-time list.
The film pulled in a whopping $220 million (roughly Ā£165 million) in its first few days in the States, meaning itās overtaken 2015ās āJurassic Worldā and 2012ās āAvengersā offering, but again, still below āThe Force Awakensā, which made around $248 million (Ā£186 million) in its opening weekend.
Original āStar Warsā actors Mark Hamill and the late Carrie Fisher both return in āThe Last Jediā, as do āThe Force Awakensā stars John Boyega, Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver.
