DECEMBER 25 UPDATE: Star Wars: The Force Awakens used an estimated $47.6m global take on Thursday as the space opera reached $813.5m worldwide.
A further $27.6m in North America boosted the running total there to $391.1m, a record opening week and seven-day gross that overtook the $380.3m lifetime gross of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge Of The Sith.
The Force Awakens has already overtaken Jurassic World’s record grosses after eight and nine days set in June.
A further $20m boosted the international running total to $422.4m.
The Force Awakens remained on course to another sprint record in North America and is odds-on to cross $400m on Friday in a record eight days, an achievement that would topple the previous 10-day mark set by Jurassic World.
Disney/Lucasfilm executives will also expect a good chance of beating Jurassic World’s $106.6m second-weekend record.
