We've got good Star Wars news... It's official: "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" achieved another seemingly impossible box office feat this week. Which one? |
||
|
|
Passing Avatar's domestic record of $760 million | ||
| Largest opening in China at $150 million | |||
| New international box office gross of $2.1 billion | |||
| Global box office (domestic + international) of $2.8 billion | |||

Episode VII has opened yet in China and is a very long way off of touching either the international or global records but domestic is now owned by Ep. VII. |
