Rogue One crosses $900 million, tops with Hidden Figures
Disney and Lucasfilm’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and 20th Century Fox’s Hidden Figures are in a race for the top spot at the domestic box office that is still too close to call. According to Disney, Rogue One earned $22 million this weekend, while 20th Century Fox is saying Hidden Figures earned $21.8 million. Some rival studios have those numbers reversed, however, so we’ll have to wait until actual figures come out on Monday to see which one is the clear winner.
With the $22 million weekend, The Walt Disney Studios‘ Rogue One has now earned $477.3 million in North America after four weeks, making it the #2 release of 2016 behind only Finding Dory ($486 million).
