We told you earlier about Star Wars: The Force Awakens taking aim at $500 million in North America this weekend, but the latest international numbers have confirmed that the movie is set to sail past the $1 billion mark worldwide at roughly the same time. As of right now, the J.J. Abrams helmed movie has a global cume of $765.9 million, and despite competition from the likes of Daddy's Home and The Hateful Eight, it's expected to do very well tomorrow and the days that follow. The speed in which the movie is breaking these records (and the fact that business isn't showing any significant signs of slowing down) lends some weight to reports that Star Wars: The Force Awakens could end up beating Avatar's record $2.7 billion haul, but seeing as it looks set to make $1 billion in the space of a little over a week, it should end up becoming only the third movie in history to hit $2 billion. Will you be spending you Christmas Day in a Galaxy Far, Far Away?
