Overview
- The film opened May 22 with about $165 million worldwide, a figure that roughly matched its reported $165 million production cost.
- Box office receipts plunged roughly 69–70 percent in the second weekend and continued steep weekly declines that indicate limited appeal beyond core fans.
- Exhibitors removed hundreds of screens for the film, with reports that it lost about 945 North American screens and fell out of the top four and later to sixth place domestically.
- Worldwide gross sits around $294–295 million, placing it close to or just beyond Shutter Island and on track to become the lowest‑grossing Star Wars theatrical release.
- Lucasfilm has issued a director’s‑commentary theatrical edition and other ancillary tie‑ins while Disney watches downstream revenue from streaming, merchandise and parks to judge the release’s overall success and shape future projects such as 2027’s Starfighter.
