While not all of the reviews were kind, Lucasfilm's initial 'Star Wars' spin-off 'Rogue One' has been declared a success, as the film crosses the $1 billion dollar mark at the worldwide box office.
Propelling Disney to a $7 billion dollar year (just let that sink in), 'Rogue One' joins 'Finding Dory', 'Captain America: Civil War' and 'Zootopia' as the studio's fourth $1 billion release.
The next installment in the 'Star Wars' franchise; the as-yet untitled 'Episode 8' is scheduled for release in December.
