BOX OFFICE: STAR WARS: TFA Passes AGE OF ULTRON As It Takes Aim At AVATAR's #1 Spot
Star Wars: The Force Awakens had another record breaking day yesterday, and while some of you still don't believe it's going to happen, the way the movie is currently performing points to the J.J. Abrams helmed release ultimately topping Avatar's worldwide haul...
Tomorrow, Star Wars: The Force Awakens wil pass Avengers: Age of Ultron to become the sixth biggest movie of all-time, and The Wrap reports that its current performance points to the J.J. Abrams helmed release overtaking both Titanic and Avatar to become the world's highest grossing film. It took in $25 million from overseas on Friday, taking its total there to $704 million. Throw in its $686 million domestic haul (the movie broke the record for the most made on New Year's Day yesterday), and it has a worldwide cume of $1.39 billion in around just three weeks. It opens in China this month, while the site adds that Star Wars: The Force Awakens has a chance to beat James Cameron's record holders because it's, "packing that kind of punch at the box office." It should still top Avatar's domestic record in the next few days and is expected to have passed Furious 7, The Avengers, and Jurassic World on the worldwide chart this week. Impressive!
