Interestingly earlier this week it was revealed that the guess for the domestic gross for Episode 8 is $742 million. Domestic means for the United States. That puts the film third of all time for the US. This is impressive and shows the film will do quite well, if it matches.
The Force Awakens obviously was a global hit - it came first in both the UK and the USA for all time and is 3rd film to cross the 2 billion mark, making it the third highest grossing film of all time.
A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi and the Phantom Menace were also the highest grossing films of the year they were released, with A New Hope being the highest grossing film of all time for 6 years, the Phantom Menace became the third film to cross the billion mark, behind Jurassic Park and Titanic, and became the second highest grossing film of all time.
Currently residing in the top 50 highest grossing films are The Force Awakens, Rogue One and the Phantom Menace. It is interesting to see where The Last Jedi will go
My original prediction for the film before the estimate domestic gross was released was 1.4 Billion but now it is 1.5 billion, placing it 5th worldwide all time box office. I predict that the Solo film will definitely be the lowest of the Disney films and could even be lower than the likes or Revenge of the Sith. I'm predicting a $750 million for that film
For Star Wars it currently looks like this for the Box Office:
1. Episode VII: The Force Awakens - $2,068,223,624
2. Rogue One - $1,056,057,273
3. Episode I: The Phantom Menace - $1,027,044,627
4. Episode III: Revenge of the Sith - $848,754,768
5. Episode IV: A New Hope - $775,398,007
6. Episode II: Attack of the Clones - $649,398,328
7. Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back - $547,969,004
8. Episode VI: Return of the Jedi - £475,106,117
9. The Clone Wars - $68,282,844
The Last Jedi is predicted to be the second most successful Star Wars film, and the highest grossing film of 2017.
