$98M four-day opening, the lowest for a Disney-era Star Wars film
Final figures put the Memorial Day opening at $98M over four days and $82M over three, just under Solo. Overseas added $63M to $69M, for about $167M worldwide. Premium formats were 53% of global ticket sales.
Why it matters
Exit scores were high (A- CinemaScore, A among kids) but only 27% of the audience was under 25, against 37% for The Last Jedi.
