New ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ trailer tops 120 mln views

- October 15, 2017

TWENTY-four hours after screening on US TV on Monday, Oct 9, the “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” trailer totalled 120.1 million views online worldwide, according to the website Starwars.com.

“Star Wars” episode eight is undoubtedl­y the most hotly anticipate­d film coming to theatres this holiday.

It comes as no surprise to see the movie trailer score some 120 million views in just 24 hours.

In fact, this second trailer notched up 29.1 million more views than the first trailer, released in April at the Star Wars Celebratio­n in Orlando.

That said, “The Last Jedi” still trails the record set by “It,” with a movie trailer watched 197 million times in just one day and 246 million times in 36 hours.

The next “Star Wars” film also falls behind “The Fate of the Furious,” with 139 million views, “Thor: Ragnarok” (136 million) and “Beauty and the Beast” (127.6 million).

“The Last Jedi” does, however, beat “Fifty Shades Darker” (114 million) and franchise predecesso­r “The Force Awakens” (112 million).

Still, “The Force Awakens” beat all of the blockbuste­rs at the global box office, grossing more than US$2 billion as the third highest-grossing movie of all time, behind “Avatar” and “Titanic.”
