For comparison For comparison, The Force Awakens opened to $52.3 million en route to $124.1 million in China, while Rogue One opened to $30 million en route to nearly $70 million. First of all, should we use "By comparison" instead of "For comparison"? And what does "open to" mean in this sentence, and is “en route" used right in this context?
