FRIDAY AM UPDATE: Star Wars: The Last Jedi delivered an estimated $45 million from Thursday evening previews last night, amounting to the second largest domestic preview gross of all time behind only Star Wars: The Force Awakens and 55% ahead of Rogue One's $29 million from previews last year. The film also began its international roll-out on December 13 in 14 markets where it has so far grossed an estimated $60.8 million. Overall, Disney reports the opening two days of The Last Jedi internationally are +63% ahead of Rogue One and only -25% behind The Force Awakens when looking at the same suite of markets and adjusting for today's exchange rates.

The Last Jedi debuts in Japan and Spain today for a day-and-date release across all territories except China, which opens on Jan 5.

We'll take a closer look at things tomorrow morning once Friday estimates come in. For now you can check out our weekend preview below.
