Star Wars: The Last Jedi enjoyed a strong first weekend at the domestic box office, placing first with an estimated $220 million. Not only did The Last Jedi eclipse its projected $200 million domestic debut and have the biggest opening of 2017—soaring well past Beauty and the Beast's $174.8 million debut—the film had the second biggest opening of all time, trailing only Star Wars: The Force Awakens' $248 million domestic debut in 2015.
