Yes, but Disney Star Wars is definitely experiencing the law of diminishing returns. They've released two Episodes and two Star Wars Stories, and in each case, the follow-up made considerably less than its predecessor.
The Force Awakens The Last Jedi Rogue One Solo
Worldwide Gross $2,068,223,624 $1,332,539,889 $1,056,057,273 $392,924,807

TLJ was down 36% from TFA, while Solo was down 63% from Rogue One. I wouldn't be surprised if Episode IX is down 36% from TLJ, meaning a worldwide gross of $853 million. I have no doubt Episode IX will make a profit, but the best days at the box office for Disney Star Wars are behind it.
