Rogue One Now 2016's Third Highest-Grossing Movie

And it's expected to pass Civil War for second place by the end of the weekend.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is now this year's third highest-grossing movie at the domestic box office, bringing in over $375 million USD so far.

After grossing $16.6 million on Thursday, the standalone Star Wars film surged past Deadpool, The Jungle Book, and The Secret Life of Pets to take third place on this year's list of highest grossers, according to Variety.

Rogue One is expected to finish the year as 2016's second highest-grossing movie, as it'll likely surpass Captain America: Civil War's $408 million haul within the next two days. With a $486 million gross, Finding Dory will almost certainly finish as 2016's top domestic box office earner.

Rogue One's worldwide gross currently sits at $687.7 million, which makes it the 10th highest worldwide grosser of 2016.  It's expected to cross $700 million by the end of the weekend, according to Forbes.
