It doesn't look like Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is going to gross as much as its predecessors, but the divisive final installment in the Skywalker Saga is still well on its way to joining the illustrious $1 billion club.

The J.J. Abrams-directed space-adventure finished up its second week on general release with $417 million domestic and $423 million overseas, giving the movie a global total of $840 million.

STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER Review - An Uneven, But Mostly Satisfying Conclusion To The Saga

Though impressive, one can't help but feel Disney and Lucasfilm must be disappointed that Episode IX didn't perform a little better over the past couple of weeks. This is the last film in one of the most iconic sagas in cinema history, after all.

What do you guys think? Did the mixed reviews hurt the movie? Be sure to share your thoughts on The Rise of Skywalker with us in the comments.

I think it deserves to fall short of expectations. They blew it. (IMO of course)

@SpideyPuffsMJ - Michael Eisner the Former CEO of Disney said it best:

"#RiseofSkywalker is an acceptable film, a lot of story and fan delights but somewhat emotionless. Daisy Ridley played Rey throughout the film with one expression: awe/fear until the very end of the film when she reveals her name. That’s what I meant by a film that somewhat lacked emotion."

We all have to thank Disney for making a film as great as DC's Justice League where people are no longer asking for anymore sequels.

Going to the movie with an already negative mindset and then trying to review the movie and then influencing everyone else hurt the movie. The movie itself was a fine send off for the original cast of Star Wars.

I hope this underperformance shakes things up over at Lucasfilm.

The more I think about it, the more the ending and main theme of the movie bothers me. The idea that you can just change your family because you don't like them is really asinine. Yes, some of us have ancestors that have done evil things. But you can't change that or where you come from. You can just realise that you bare no responsibility for their actions. So wouldn't it have been a much more powerful ending for Rey to embrace the name Palpatine and redefine it in a positive way? To do so would be to make a statement that your name does not determine your character. That seems like a much more powerful message to me.

Every time someone said Exegol I was thinking Eggsicle like a popsicle made out of an egg. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤢🤮

@AnthonyVonGeek - That makes much more sense than people saying it sounds like testicle. I guessed you've doomed me now, because I'll probably read it like eggsicle from now on too
