by

The actual amount of money that Disney spent on Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker has been released.

Released in 2019, *Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker* (also known as *Star Wars: Episode IX*) is the final film in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Directed and co-written by J.J. Abrams, it follows *The Force Awakens* (2015) and *The Last Jedi* (2017). The film earned over $1.077 billion worldwide.

How much money did Disney spend on Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker?

According to Forbes, the final cost of making *The Rise of Skywalker* was $593.7 million – a $10.1 million increase from initial estimates. This makes it the third most expensive film ever made, following *The Force Awakens* and *Jurassic World: Dominion*.

Movie budgets in the U.S. are typically kept private, with studios combining film costs into their general expenses. However, it’s different in the U.K. Studios filming there can receive a refund of up to 25.5% of their spending, as long as at least 10% of the film’s main costs are spent in the U.K. To claim this refund, studios create separate companies for each film and are legally required to publicly file detailed financial records. These records become available gradually, starting before filming begins and continuing even after the movie is released.

You can now watch Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker on Disney+, starring Daisy Ridley as Rey, Adam Driver as Kylo Ren, Oscar Isaac as Poe Dameron, John Boyega as Finn, and many other talented actors.
