Star Wars: The Last Jedi has fallen down the charts for the latest box office report. For the January 5-7 weekend, Disney’s sci-fi blockbuster made $23.6 million to finish third. No. 1 in the US and Canada over the weekend was Sony’s Jumanji reboot, Welcome to the Jungle, which made $36 million over the three-day period. No. 2 was the horror movie Insidious: The Last Key, which is ahead of the opening-weekend haul for the previous movie, Insidious 3.

Welcome to the Jungle has now made $244.4 million domestically after just 19 days, with a further $275 million coming in from international markets. That puts its global haul to $519.4 million, which is mightily impressive considering it had a $90 million budget.

As for Star Wars, The Last Jedi has now made $572.5 million in the US and Canada, with $632.7 million from overseas markets to push its global total to $1.2 billion. The film opened this weekend in China–the world’s second-biggest movie market–and made $28.7 million.

As it does with most of its big new releases, Microsoft is launching a limited-edition Xbox One controller for its swashbuckling pirate action/adventure game Sea of Thieves. The nice-looking controller has a deep purple translucent design, with a skull in the middle that glows in the dark. The gamepad also sports „laser-etched barnacles, while one of the triggers sports a golden colour.

Additionally, it comes with the „Ferryman Clothing Set“ DLC, along with 14-day trials for Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass. It launches on February 6. This is of course the newer-model controller, so it has Bluetooth support for use with Windows 10 PC and tablets. In terms of consoles, it supports Xbox One, Xbox One S, and Xbox One X.

You can pre-order one here on Microsoft’s website.

The controller launches on February 6, which is more than a month before Sea of Thieves hits shelves on March 20 for Xbox One and PC. Developer Rare recently revealed more details about how the game’s progression system works. A beautiful Sea of Thieves art book from Dark Horse is also slated to release in early 2018.

With the release of Dragon Ball FighterZ drawing closer, Bandai Namco Games took to Twitter to release info about the required specs needed for the game’s PC version. The game will release for PC, PS4, and Xbox One on January 25. Developed by Arc System Works, the same team behind the Guilty Gear and BlazBlue series, Dragon Ball FighterZ possesses a visual style that mimics the popular anime.

In addition to the specs listed below, the publisher offered more details about pre-order bonuses for the game, which include early access to Goku and Vegeta’s Super Saiyan Blue forms, along with exclusive avatars to use in the in-game lobby. Moreover, pre-ordering the game will give you access to the pre-launch beta. The game is currently available to pre-order on Steam.

• Windows 7/8/10 (64bit OS required)
• AMD FX-4350, 4.2 GHz/Intel core i5-3470, 3.20 GHZ 4GB RAM
• Radeon HD 6870, 1GB / GeForce GTX 650 Ti, 1GB DirectX 11
