It's now become clear that Star Wars: The Force Awakens isn't going to beat Avatar to become the highest grossing movie of all-time, but does it stand a chance of topping Titanic? That's still not clear at this stage, but the J.J. Abrams helmed release has still done something no one ever thought it would be closing in on $2 billion at the worldwide box office.
After adding an extra $23.3 million internationally (for a total of over $1,060.7 billion, a figure which means it has now surpassed Jurassic World), The Force Awakens took an additional $14 million at the North American box office this weekend. That places it at #2 behind The Revenant and ahead of new opening Ride Along 2. Business has slowed down in China, but it's still made a solid $112.7 million in the Middle Kingdom. However, that surprisingly pales in comparison to its UK haul of $173.3 million!
Regardless, with a worldwide cume of $1.94 billion, Star Wars: The Force Awakens will definitely crack $2 billion, something it's fair to say is truly an epic achievement!
