Overview
- The Force Awakens generated the largest estimated box-office profit at about $500.2 million, based on a $2.07 billion gross and UK reimbursement figures.
- The methodology pairs UK production-company cost disclosures with an approximate 50/50 exhibitor split, a snapshot that Disney cautions is not a full profitability account.
- Rogue One delivered the highest return on investment at roughly 95.4%, reflecting its lower net production spend despite a smaller absolute profit.
- Solo: A Star Wars Story is the only Disney-era entry estimated to have lost money at the box office, with a reported $103.3 million deficit.
- The Last Jedi is estimated at $324 million in profit and The Rise of Skywalker at $48.3 million on very high costs, providing context for the next announced films, The Mandalorian & Grogu in 2026 and Starfighter in 2027.
