BOX OFFICE: STAR WARS: TFA Breaks Christmas Day Record As It Zeroes In On $900M WW

Star Wars: The Force Awakens has predictably broken yet another box office record, this time nearly doubling the highest amount ever made on Christmas Day! Now, the movie is very near the $900 million mark just TWENTY FOUR hours after we told you about it passing $800 million...

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.

It was amazing and even though the plot of the story was not that good; it had the best cinematography shots ever. John with Daisy killed they roles and I wish to see the relationship enter a new level!! This is it Daisy is murdering the movie industry watch out

Early tracking on BvS is looking pretty doom-damned impressive, actually. So I hear.

InfinityWar2019@ That is a good point. If Star Wars makes more than Avatar, we ought to at least get FF back, huh?
