Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a box office smash, and while we've heard all about the various records it's broken since December 16th, seeing them collected like this (courtesy of IGN) is pretty amazing. Analysts believe that it's now on track to top Titanic as the second highest grossing movie of all-time, and while you might think that Disney are disappointed that it won't beat Avatar, it's doubtful that any 2016 release will beat these records, so The Force Awakens looks set to be the king for the foreseeable future. Star Wars Episode VIII perhaps? We'll have to wait and see!
