'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Earns $238 Million, Biggest Opening Weekend Ever
It's official: Star Wars: The Force Awakens has earned the biggest opening weekend of all time at the domestic box office, hauling in an estimated $238 million in North America since Thursday night (Dec. 17).
The seventh episode in the Star Wars franchise--and the first since Disney acquired the franchise in 2012--was crushing records all weekend, first earning the biggest Thursday-night bow ever, then the biggest opening day ever. Now it has passed the $208.8 million opening weekend record set by Jurassic World last summer.
