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. 。

, 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.

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 。
