‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Breaks A BUNCH Of All Time Box Office Records!

The force was strong this weekend for the new Star Wars movie as it broke several different box office records!

The new ‘Star Wars’ movie broke records for biggest single-day ticket sales ever.

Experts say the movie grossed over $250 million in ticket sales over its three day opening; previously, Jurassic World was the fastest movie to reach that milestone, but it took five days to reach that.

Check out some of the other records the movie broke:

·       Biggest Thursday preview gross with $57M. 

·       Biggest Friday and biggest single-day gross with $120.5M.

·       First film ever to post a single day over $100M.

·       Fastest film to $100M and $200M.

·       Biggest December debut (nearly 3 times previous record of $84.6M).

·       Biggest IMAX Thursday night preview ($5.7M), single-day ($14M, Friday), and weekend ($30.1M).

·       Highest theater average for a wide release ($57,568).

In Canada, the movie beat the opening weekend record previously held by Marvel’s ‘The Avengers’.

“Avatar,” the highest grossing domestic movie ever, reportedly took 12 days to get past $250 million.
