Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker will hit theaters on December 19, 2019, and fans of the space opera from across the world/galaxy will embrace to view the conclusion of the ninth installment of the franchise like Luke Skywalker and Han Solo snuggling in a tauntaun in The Empire Strikes Back.
Disney routinely prints money and pulls in huge numbers at the box office for each release of the newest trilogy. Online sportsbooks know this too and have released a variety of betting props on what financial marks it will hit and just how much dough it will rake in.
They’ve also treated us to some in-movie betting props like how many times “May The Force Be With You” is said, how many times Kylo Ren will be showing his six-pack and having his shirt off, and whether Baby Yoda from The Mandalorian will make an appearance.
Bettors can boost their bankroll and midichlorian count with betting props for its domestic gross and worldwide gross at the box office, what score it will nab at Rotten Tomatoes and whether Rise of Skywalker will be nominated or win an Oscar for Best Picture (eye roll emoji).
A Long Time Ago, In a Box Office Far Away…
The O/U for total domestic box office gross for Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker is set at $775 million while the worldwide total box office gross is set at $1.7 billion in odds released at Bovada. These feel like doable numbers to hit the OVER when you compare its previous installments, The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi.
For reference, the high-water mark for Star Wars movies is The Force Awakens, which finished with $936 million domestically and $2.06 billion at the worldwide box office. But The Last Jedi came under some criticism for its plot and lack of rewatchability so it didn’t have the same luster and nostalgia for fans.
Last Jedi still finished with the ninth-highest domestic box office profit of all time with $620 million, and $1.31 billion worldwide, but Disney executives were reportedly disappointed with the overall return on investment from the second installment after The Force Awakens smashed expectations.
Here are some more Star Wars box office statistics for reference:
| Movie | Opening Weekend | Domestic Gross | Worldwide Gross |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solo: A Star Wars Story | $84,420,489 | $213,767,512 | $393,151,347 |
| Episode VIII: The Last Jedi | $220,009,584 | $620,181,382 | $1,316,721,747 |
| Rogue One: A Star Wars Story | $155,081,681 | $532,177,324 | $1,049,102,856 |
| Episode VII: The Force Awakens | $247,966,675 | $936,662,225 | $2,053,311,220 |
| Episode III: Revenge of the Sith | $108,435,841 | $380,270,577 | $848,998,877 |
| Episode II: Attack of the Clones | $80,027,814 | $310,676,740 | $656,695,615 |
| Episode I: The Phantom Menace | $64,810,970 | $474,544,677 | $1,027,044,677 |
| Episode VI: Return of the Jedi | $23,019,618 | $309,205,079 | $572,705,079 |
| Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back | $4,910,483 | $290,271,960 | $534,161,334 |
| Episode IV: A New Hope | $1,554,475 | $460,998,007 | $786,598,007 |
This is why they went back to director JJ Abrams to helm the third installment of the new trilogy in hopes his vision and touch will bring profits back to the levels that shareholders of Disney Corp. are expecting. The key to this prop is repeated viewings and the fact that it’s being released during the holiday season.
With the story of Rey and the resistance expected to conclude and the fact that Disney has already announced that no new Star Wars movies are expected in upcoming years, I’d say to swing your lightsaber at the OVER for both domestic (-120) and worldwide gross (+170) and “No” (-1000) for whether it will surpass Avengers: Endgame as the top-grossing movie of all time.
