BOX OFFICE: STAR WARS: TFA To Break Record Held By SPIDER-MAN 2 Since 2004
After kicking Jurassic World's ass this weekend, Star Wars: The Force Awakens now looks set to top a box office record which has been held by Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2 for more than a decade. Which one? Hit the jump for all of the latest details and numbers...
The Force may have awoken this past weekend, but so too has the box office as Star Wars: The Force Awakens continues to break records. According to Deadline, the J.J. Abrams helmed release looks set to earn upwards of $30 million today, and it's really being helped by the fact that kids are now off from school for the Christmas break. Spider-Man 2 has held the record for the highest Monday with $27.7 million since 2004, with only Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ($26.8 million) and Jurassic World ($25.3 million) coming close to that. With a weekend haul of $247.97 million, it looks like Star Wars: The Force Awakens is going to have a lot of longevity, and that's good news for its prospects of beating Avatar's worldwide haul of a record $2 billion. How many times have you seen the movie so far? It's three and counting for me as of right now...
