Future Christmas movies will have their work cut out for them when it comes to beating Star Wars: The Force Awakens because the movie is estimated to have made at least $40 million yesterday. That demolishes the record held by Sherlock Holmes (which made $24.6 million back in 2009), and with $145 million expected this weekend, its North American total is set to pass $500 million after racking up a whopping $391.1 million during its first week, a figure which makes Jurassic World's $296.2 million from back in June a whole lot less impressive. Taking all of this into account, Star Wars: The Force Awakens has now grossed $890.3 million worldwide, with $449.9 million of that coming from overseas and $440.4 million domestically. The movie will pass $1 billion tomorrow.
