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 。

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 。
