LOS ANGELES (AP) - "Star Wars" was still rising at the box office, while "Little Women" opened big.
Studio estimates Sunday showed that "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" brought in $72 million over the weekend to remain the top-earning movie, well ahead of second-place "Jumanji: The Next Level."
Director Greta Gerwig's re-imagining of the literary classic "Little Women" had a $16.5-million weekend and a five-day total of $29 million since its Christmas opening, a major performance for a smaller-audience film with a budget dwarfed by the top two.
The drama starring Saoirse Ronan and Emma Watson is gaining momentum as an awards-season favorite.
