Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker remains at the top on the global box office and with no new entries inside the top 5 for the new year the rest of the movie just move around a little.

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker

As the new year starts the new Star Wars movie stays at the top of the global box office with a weekend gross of $84.2 Million from 54 countries.

The film is getting close to the $1 Billion mark and this week its total sits at $918.7 Million after 3 weeks meaning it will most likely get there by next weekend.

The film has clearly been a massive hit for the franchise, but it will most likely end up the lowest grossing of the sequel trilogy.

Jumanji: The Next Level

The Dwayne Johnson and Jack Black starring sequel remains at number 2 this week with $68.9 Million from 65 countries.

This pushes the films total gross to $610.2 Million after 5 weeks of release.

Spies In Disguise
