Star Wars: The Force Awakens Breaks Box Office Records

We're pretty sure Disney shareholders are starting to think this Star Wars purchase a few years back was a pretty good idea. In it's opening weekend Star Wars: The Force Awakens took in $238 million in North America, surpassing Jurrasic World's previous record of $208 million. Globally The Force Awakens made $517 million for the weekend, trailing behind Jurassic World's $525 million take. However, Jurassic World also benefited from opening in China the same weekend where as The Force Awakens has yet to hit screens in that country.
