'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' Scores 2nd Biggest Opening Weekend Ever

(NEW YORK) — "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" will happily settle for second.

Rian Johnson's second installment in the third "Star Wars" trilogy rocketed to a debut of $220 million at the North American box office, according to studio estimates Sunday. That gives "The Last Jedi" the second-best opening ever, slotting in behind only its predecessor, "The Force Awakens."

The [f500link]Disney[/f500link] blockbuster became just the fourth film to open above $200 million domestically.
