Like we talked about yesterday, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is projected to make $210M by Monday morning. It’s already halfway there.
Year-end holiday advance ticket sales for J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens have crossed $100 million in North America, an unheard-of number, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. …The previous record-holder for advance ticket sales was The Dark Knight Rises in 2012 with $25 million. Sources say Force Awakens sales could even be north of $120 million. On Tuesday, online ticketing service Fandango reported that Force Awakens has become the company’s top-selling title in the company’s 15-year history in terms of advance ticket sales, outpacing such record-setters as Avengers: Age of Ultron and this summer’s Jurassic World, which debuted to a historic $208.8 million domestically.
