LOS ANGELES -- 。 The Force Awakens 。, it was not -- but 。 Rogue One 。got away clean with $155 million at the North American box office this weekend, a robust start that guarantees the first Star Wars "story" will not be the last. 。
The $155 million figure makes。 The $155 million figure makes。Rogue One。 the third highest grossing domestic weekend opener of 2016, behind 。Captain America: Civil War 。 ($179 million) and 。Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice。 ($166 million). It's also the 12th highest bow of all time, sandwiched between 。The Hunger Games: Catching Fire 。 ($147 million in 2013) and 。The Hunger Games。

Mark this down as a not overly spectacular -- but certainly robustly good-enough -- launch for Disney's plan to annualize its Star Wars franchise entries, including stand-alone "stories" that don't quite factor into the central Skywalker saga. 。 Throw in other X-factors like new/unfamiliar characters, a female lead in Felicity Jones and a production that saw the studio seize control from director Gareth Edwards for a series of spendy reshoots -- just part of the process folks, not the controversy you're looking for, move along -- and it's safe to say that。Rogue One 。

, which hauled in $363 million after 18 weeks in release -- but has almost no hope of touching fellow Disney release 。 Finding Dory,which stayed in movie theaters for 25 weeks on its way to a whopping $486 million domestic.。 Of course,Rogue One 。
never had a chance at playing like last year's 。The Force Awakens。 -- and no one expected as much. That franchise homecoming celebration posted the highest opening weekend in history at $250 million in North America, a staggering result that was driven mostly by male moviegoers (64 percent) and instant-repeat business. 。Rogue One 。
Rogue One 。 also boasted the second-best December domestic opening, behind only 。The Force Awakens 。 , of course.。The 23 percent Saturday-to-Sunday dropoff for 。 Rogue One 。was far steeper than that of 。
