LOS ANGELES — “I find your lack of faith disturbing.”

Darth Vader said it. In recent weeks, as the news media questioned the management of the 42-year-old “Star Wars” franchise, the Walt Disney Company’s senior leaders thought it.

Saturday brought some vindication: The ninth installment in the series, “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” collected about $90 million in its first day and a half in domestic theaters, putting the film on a course to take in around $190 million by Sunday, box office analysts said.

“The Rise of Skywalker,” which cost roughly $400 million to make and market, will collect an additional $200 million (or more) in international release over the weekend, analysts said. The film, the final chapter in the Skywalker saga, was released in every country except for Vietnam, South Korea and the Philippines. It will arrive in those markets next month.
