'The Force Awakens' Becomes the Fastest movie to Gross $1 Billion

23 comments
By: Dominic Jones

Another day, another box office record beaten by Star Wars: The Force Awakens.  The film became the fastest movie to earn $1 billion at the box office yesterday, doing so in just 12 days, beating Jurrasic World which had held the previous record of 13 days.  The film also took the record for biggest Christmas Weekend at the box office as well, making $153.5 million domestically.

The question is, how high will it go?  Could The Force Awakens dethrone Avatar?  I guess the answer to that is another question: how many times have you seen The Force Awakens and how many more times do you plan on seeing it?  Let us know in the comments.

Disney paid £4bn for Lucasfilm,right? And Star Wars VII has already made a quarter of that investment in just 10 days! And there's still six months before the DVD/bluray release.At this rate,Disney will have made its money back long before Episode VIII graces cinema screens next year.
