BOX OFFICE: ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY Flies Past FINDING DORY; New Domestic Champion of 2016

Finding Dory swam past Captain America: Civil War to be the new domestic champion back in June, but now another Disney-distributed film has taken the crown from the Pixar sequel. Despite opening to $155 million back in December, the Star Wars flick has now surpassed Finding Dory ($486.3 million) and now stands at $488.3 million after taking in an additional $3.244 million yesterday. 

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is expected to finish in the top 5 movies this weekend at the box office while it faces competition from films such as Sing and Golden Globe-winner La La Land. The Star Wars flick is also expected to reach the historic domestic milestone of $500 million this upcoming holiday Monday. It is expected to finish overall with around $550 million. Pretty good for a spin-off/prequel. 

Here is the Top 10 Highest Grossing Films at the 2016 Domestic Box Office as a reminder:

1. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story ($488.3 million)
2. Finding Dory ($486.3 million)
3. Captain America: Civil War (408.1 million)
4. The Secret Life of Pets ($368.4 million)
5. The Jungle Book ($364.0 million)
6. Deadpool ($363.1 million)
7. Zootopia ($341.3 million)
8. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ($330.4 million)
9. Suicide Squad ($325.1 million)
10. Doctor Strange ($231.1 million)

Stay tuned for more box office updates!

Sidenote: is this show any good? It looks cool, and I love Sarah Bolger, but I've heard mixed things. Is it worth a watch?

Has there ever been a year more dominated by a single studio than how Disney owned 2016?

Well deserved. So glad Disney grew the balls to kill off the protagonist.

Should make an article about Rogue One flying past Marvel 14 villains.

That's all that matters.

Saw it for the first time yesterday; it was good though could've been better. I gave it a solid 7 but the Vader scene elevated it to a 7.5. I don't know what it was but it just felt like something was missing. It needs a rewatch for better judgement because I went in with a crappy mood, I was hot, and eventually became tired.
