"Star Wars" fans in galaxies both near and far, far away are less than a week away from watching "The Last Jedi." The next installment of the "Star Wars" saga opens in U.S. theaters next Thursday night and with it comes some of the biggest buzz for a film since, well, the last "Star Wars" movie, 2015's "The Force Awakens." Analysts have a hard time predicting opening weekend numbers when it comes to movies with a lot of hype. "The Force Awakens" had the biggest opening in film history, bringing in $248 million in its first weekend. Last year, the "Star Wars" spinoff, "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," raked in more than $1 billion globally.
