'Rogue One' tops box office once again over New Year's weekend

Moviegoers bid adieu to 2016 and welcomed in 2017 over the four-day holiday weekend, spending about $200 million to see just the 10 top-grossing films, a pack led once again by "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story." The continued forceful showing by Disney's "Rogue One" was expected to add $64 million to its total by the time the weekend drew to a close, bringing its domestic total to $439.7 million, according to figures from ComScore. That would make it the second-highest-grossing film of 2016 after only 18 days in theaters, behind another Disney enterprise, "Finding Dory," which has taken in $486 million during the year. Globally "Rogue One" has grossed nearly $775 million through Sunday, ComScore reported. Close behind "Rogue One" over the holiday weekend was Universal's new animated musical comedy "Sing," with an estimated four-day take of $56.4 million to bring its two-week domestic box office total to $180 million.
