Star Wars Rogue One to be Second-Biggest December Release… Ever

It's just Star Wars doing what it does best: Blowing through records.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has some early reviews out there and even without them, the trailers tell a pretty epic story without giving too much away. Everyone is excited about it and expects it to do well. But how well will it actually do? How does $120-$150 million in three days sound?

With that, plus the projected $150 million international, Rogue One would end up being the second biggest December opening of all time, ironically only behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens at a monstrous $248 million.

We've seen a few featurettes including one of Jyn Erso's actor Felicity Jones talking about her role. We've also gotten a look at some of the aliens, as well as hear from their designers talking about practical costumes over CGI.

Don't miss the release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story on December 16.
