A new report confirms Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was the least successful of Disney’s sequel trilogy.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker seemed to divide fans when it arrived last year, after an interesting journey through The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, the final film in Disney’s sequel trilogy had plenty of high expectations to live up to. A new report from Deadline confirms that the final film, which saw Rey and Kylo Ren go up against Emperor Palpatine, is the least successful entry in the Disney trilogy.

The outlet compared the film in its Most Valuable Blockbuster Tournament, comparing The Rise of Skywalker‘s domestic release of $515.2 million to The Last Jedi‘s $610.1 million and The Force Awakens‘ $936.6 million. Although The Rise of Skywalker made over $1 billion worldwide, it failed to beat The Force Awakens‘ impressive $2.06 billion or even The Last Jedi at $1.3 billion. Deadline also noted that the ending to Disney’s sequel trilogy got a B+ CinemaScore, the lowest rating for any live action film in the Star Wars saga.
