Star Wars: The Force Awakens has had another huge weekend, beating The Revenant with an impressive $41.6 million compared to that movie's $38 million (which is still an incredible result for the Alejandro González Iñárritu helmed release). The Return of the Jedi follow-up became the first movie in history to cross $800 million in North America yesterday, while a record breaking $52.6 million two day haul in China is pointing to The Force Awakens doing big business in the Middle Kingdom. Taking all of this into account, this latest Star Wars movie earned a whopping $145.93 million this weekend, and that means it has now sailed past the record held by Jurassic World to become the third highest grossing release of all-time. With a worldwide cume of $1.73 billion, there's still a little way to go until Star Wars: The Force Awakens tops Titanic's $2.18 billion, but it could very well happen. We're just going to have to wait and see how the next few weeks pan out!
