Star Wars: The Force Awakens has taken in £83.5M ($123.8M) in the UK after 13 days of release, making it the 4th highest-grossing movie in the territory's history. Of course that means it's knocked the previous 4th-place holder off its spot, and that movie just so happens to be James Cameron's mighty Titanic.
J.J. Abrams' return to the galaxy far, far away has also made over £8.2M ($12.16M) in IMAX sales, beating Spectre‘s previous UK record.
Can The Force Awakens really wind up beating Avatar to become the top grossing movie of all time globally? If it continues on its current upward trajectory you'd have to think it has a good chance, but as of right now it stands in 9th position.
UPDATE: Make that 8th position! The Force Awakens notched up another $36.7M on Wednesday, driving it past Disney’s own Frozen to become the No. 8 movie of all time at the worldwide box office.
