Now that kids are off school for the Christmas holidays, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is really feeling the effect at the box office. The J.J. Abrams helmed release is going to sail past the $300 million mark in North America a little later today after earning $40.1 million yesterday, a figure which decimates the current record held by Spider-Man 2's $27.7 million back in 2004. As of right now, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is nearly 40% ahead of Spider-Man 2 and over 25% ahead of Jurassic World. These numbers are obviously huge, and following the movie's $524 million opening weekend at the worldwide box office, it has now passed $610 millon. "Our sole focus has been creating a film that delivers that one-of-a-kind Star Wars experience, and director J.J. Abrams, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and the Lucasfilm team have outdone themselves," Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn said in a statement today. Analysts are beginning to theorise that the movie could beat Avatar, but whatever happens, $2 billion is beginning to look likely...

Someone spoiled two of the twists in the film in one sentence filled with only pronouns cause he assumed I saw the film when I didn't. I gave him so much crap for that cause I was so ticked that he ended up buying me a $25.00 gift card to AMC along with two Star Was mugs lol I already saw the movie the day he spoiled it but I'm going to go see it again with that gift card.

People complain about force awakens being an episode 4 ripoff, what about GD AVATAR??? It made 2 billion because it WAS episode 4/7. This one won't beat it because this is actually the 3rd time around. Avatar can suck it.

opening last weekend turned out to be genius, and I could see future films (not Star Wars, who is moving back to May with Episode 8) follow suit.

I went to a Monday morning showing, and my theater was probably 85% full. So many people are simply off this week for the holidays, along with kids being off school. Even the cold and rain didn't scare people off.

Avatar was almost shot for shot Fern Gully. The fact that it made so much boggles my mind.

I doubt that BvS will make anywhere close to this. People like me and pretty much all of my friends really hated MOS and BvS looks like the same crap. Not everybody is going to see it in the theater...

The transformer movies made more than most of the Marvel movies..they were master pieces, weren't they? Can you guys just shut up with this discussion already? Money doesn't matters at all when you rate a movie. Same way Oscars do not rate any movie.We all have different sense of humor and different taste.And thats how it goes.Some thinks Superman is the best superhero cause he has so much power that he can annihilate any superhero but some people hates him for the very same reason. now just come on already.

@Thebest201 oh did I forget Captain America the winter soldier as well and its too bad that Warner Bros will never get a congratulations on breaking the opening weekend record from other studios because it never will haha but I actually liked mos the second time I watched it

And one thing about marvel fanboys that amuses me is that how they boast about their billion dollars movies but when criticised on the storylines of those,they immediately revert back to take defense under the Wintersoldier banner,the movie which made less than most of their movies. Now you guys can call me all DC but can anyone care to explain how this two-way defense works in any way?

No movie in 2016 will going to pull in close to these numbers. Disney pulled the perfect marketing and timing of this film. Sure there are going to be detractors but the box office numbers and overwhelming positive reviews speak for themselves.
The movie wasn't perfect but it brings hope back to the franchise after the prequels almost killed it.

It will never surpass Avatar. Come on, $2.7 bi is just absurd.
It probably won't even beat Titanic, $2.1 bi.
