It ended 2016 as the year's second-biggest movie in terms of box office revenue, pulling in $408.164 million in the United States. The top-grossing movie of the year domestically was another Disney movie, Finding Dory, which made more than $486 million.

Rogue One narrowly edged out yet another Disney movie, Captain America: Civil War for the No. 2 position, as that movie made $408.084 million; Rogue One beat it by just $80,000.

Worldwide, Rogue One has made around $775 million. According to Deadline, which supplied all of these numbers, Rogue One is expected to reach $1 billion after it opens in China on January 13.
