'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' makes $1 billion in a record 12 days - Dec. 27, 2015

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" has made $1 billion at a light speed pace.
Disney (DIS) said Sunday that its blockbuster broke the $1 billion mark around the world faster than any other film in history.

The sci-fi adventure movie reached the milestone 12 days after its global release. That is one day earlier than the previous record holder -- Universal's "Jurassic World," which was released earlier this year.

The seventh film in the "Star Wars" saga has made $544.5 million in the U.S.

After only 10 days, it is the fifth biggest film in U.S. box office history.

"The Force Awakens" made $1 billion in half the time it took another Disney hit franchise, Marvel's "Avengers: Age of Ultron," to do so this summer.

The film also just had the best Christmas day at the box office, and it captured the biggest second weekend, raking in $153.5 million.

"The Force Awakens" has also won accolades with fans and critics. It holds a 94% score on review site RottenTomatoes.com and has even garnered some Oscar buzz.

The world domination of "The Force Awakens" is far from over, however.

The film has yet to open in China, the second biggest film market in the world. It will open there on January 9.

wasn't able to secure tickets. Heard it didn't live up to expectations tho. Lightsaber duels were lame.

The bad guy uses a lightsaber with hand guard, any insight into why it's designed that way? Looks like a European longsword inspired piece...

I doubt the movie will beat the Avatar feat though.

Domestic gross is doable, It is already 76% there.

Avatar $750M
Force Awakens: $571M

Worldwide....that will be tough. Avatar made much more money overseas (72%). Currently Force Awakens is 50/50.

Unless China turns into a bunch of Sci-Fi fans.

And I bet not a single Chinese from this forum will go see this movie. They are too self righteous to stoop down to our level. After all, theirs is a 5,000 yrs culture. :rolleyes:

could it be we are just not blockbuster kind of guy like peter?? and since when light sabers are a culture it's just a movie
