This promises to be another Christmas bells for Disney . Prior ticket sales for the premiere of the ninth and final installment of the original Star Wars saga , 'The Rise of Skywalker', has skyrocketed in the first 24 hours, beating all previous episodes, according to the Atom service Tickets JJ Abrams' film is already breaking records two months before its premiere, scheduled for December 20.

Ticket sales started on Monday, coinciding with the release of the second trailer of the movie starring Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, Oscar Isaac and John Boyega . From the original game will be Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Dee Williams - in his return as Lando Calrissian - and Carrie Fisher , in his last appearance after Abrams decided to include recovered images of 'The Force Awakens'.

According to Atom Tickets, 'The Rise of Skywalker' has sold more than twice as many tickets as the eighth episode directed by Rian Johnson , located just below 'Avengers: Endgame' in that ranking. The Marvel film, at the moment, is the highest grossing of the year and the history of the cinema, after remaining with the throne of James Cameron's 'Avatar'.

That is why it is expected that it will far exceed what was achieved by 'The Last Jedi' (2017), a film that left a certain bitter taste among some followers for its bleak style, and that competes from the beginning with the records of 'The awakening of the Strength ', even with the distinction of being the most collecting title in the United States with 936 million dollars.

It is a brand that was established in 2015 by Abrams and the meeting, 34 years later of 'The Return of the Jed'i, by Hamill and Fisher with Harrison Ford. That box office, the first in the Disney era, preceded the birth of the spinoffs, which so far have had an uneven result. 'Rogue One' exceeded one billion dollars in 2016 while 'Solo' did not reach 400 million .

The closing of the saga does not mean, much less, that this is going to be the end of the exploitation of the Lucasfilm universe by Disney. There are already three more feature films, all without a title at the moment, for 2022, 2024 and 2026.
