The new Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer topped 120 million views in 24 hours

October 12, 2017 by Gary Collinson

On Monday, Disney and Lucasfilm unveiled the second trailer for December’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and the official Star Wars site is reporting that it went on to clock up a mighty 120.1 million views in its first 24 hours.

The latest trailer outperformed the first teaser for The Last Jedi by 29.1 million views, and was well up on the 88 million views of the trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. However, it also falls some way short of the record, set by New Line Cinema’s It, which pulled in a whopping 197 million views in 24 hours when it debuted back in March.
