Right now Rise of Skywalker is at $451 million or so gross, with a very disappointing China (very, I mean, Star Wars in general has flamed out there, but ... sheesh).

Eh? It's made nearly a billion. $927M and change as of now.

$451 domestic (US Box Office).

Why does it matter where the money comes from?

All of the Mouse Star Wars films so far except Solo were in release for 54 weeks... Rise of Skywalker has been out for 2 weeks so far.

Why does it matter where the money comes from?

Demographics and spending trends. Movie franchises that do well in China can keep going even if underperforming in the US. If you can appeal to more markets you can rake in more money, so you look at what works so you can make more money in the future. We got a fifth Bayformers movie because of China.

Finn supposedly didn't end up a Jedi because China is too racist...
