The original story is below.

The newest Star Wars movie, Rogue One, officially opens today, December 16. The rollout began with midnight showings--and those were massively popular, it seems.

Deadline reports that the film's Thursday night midnight showings in the US brought in around $30 million. That's down 47 percent from the record-breaking $57 million that The Force Awakens made for its Thursday night premiere this month last year. Rogue One, a spinoff,was never expected to make as much as the mainline The Force Awakens, which stands as the third biggest movie in history.

As Deadline mentions, Rogue One's $30 million Thursday opening don't come from Disney, but are instead estimates from exhibitors. We'll update this post if Disney puts out official numbers today.
