Looking at the weekend results, Star Wars' $100 Million was almost double Jumanji's $52 Million.
As of this morning it would be $107 Million short of Beauty and the Beast for #1 for the year for the domestic outcome.
So I think those critics who are so upset about the movie they are calling for it to be removed from Star Wars cannon, or who want to see the series dumped on its head, are going to be totally furious with the staying power and broad market appeal of the film.

The Christmas day movie goer is a very new phenomenon. Hence a lot of the top Christmas movies being very recent:

The Christmas boost really doesn't mean much for the long term prospects. If the movie makes half as much as TFA that's a serious problem. You can't compare a Star Wars movie to a Jumanji reboot (which btw had the 7th best Christmas day ever, despite being crap). The comparables are other Star Wars movies....
