Initial ticket sales for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story couldn't match that of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Instead, the film had the second-highest day one pre-sales in the history of the domestic box office.
According to Variety, IMAX Entertainment CEO Greg Foster shared the news during a conference with investors, but didn't disclose just how many tickets were sold. According to Foster, the ticket sales specifically for IMAX are "on the high end of the range" compared to other major blockbusters.
Additionally, MovieTickets.com and Fandango have reported that first day ticket pre-sales for Rogue One were the highest both ticketing services have had all year.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is tracking to make over $130 million during opening weekend. Earlier this year, Disney made it clear it doesn't expect Rogue One to match the same level of success garnered by Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which now stands as the third-highest grossing film in history, with over $2 billion in global sales.
Regardless of how well the film performs, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy recently confirmed Rogue One won't get a sequel.
