“Star Wars: The Last Jedi” broke several box office records over the weekend — well, almost. In fact, it fell just short of meeting or surpassing six records, including best preview box office, best single-day box office, and best opening weekend box office. The film that topped “The Last Jedi” in all of the categories was, unsurprisingly, its 2015 prequel, “The Force Awakens.”
Despite the jaw-dropping numbers, the newest Star Wars installment seems to have resonated more with critics than fans, at least according to the Tomatometer, which gives it a “certified fresh” 93% from the critics but a rather dismal 56% with fans. Below are all the nearly historic numbers for “Last Jedi” courtesy of Box Office Mojo.
