It has a long, long way to go, though, before besting a very sentimental record: the domestic box office of the original Star Wars, adjusted for inflation. The next global titan to beat will be The Avengers, and from there the newest Star Wars film has to get past one recent blockbuster ( Jurassic World) and two James Cameron behemoths ( Avatar and Titanic) to take its place as king of the world/galaxy. Worldwide, the record is within sight as well Avatar remains the champion by a large margin, with $2.788 billion compared to The Force Awakens’s $1.55, but time is on the side of J.J Abrams and company. It took Avatar 34 weeks in theaters, plus a “special edition” re-release, to make the old record of $760.5 million The Force Awakens did it in just 20 days, and some forecasters now expect it to cross the billion mark at home before all is said and done. ![]() ![]() Star Wars: The Force Awakens has made more than $761 million at the domestic box office, not only besting Avatar to become the highest-grossing film of all time, but doing so at an astonishing pace.
