>The continuing might of Star Wars: The Force Awakens is making for a very merry Christmas at the North American box office.
>Force Awakens rocketed to $49.3 million from 4,134 theaters on Friday, blasting past the $24.6 million opening of Sherlock Holmes on Dec. 25, 2009 to secure the biggest Christmas Day gross of all time. It also raced past the $400 million mark domestically to finish the holiday with $440.4 million domestically.
>Overseas, the Disney and Lucasfilm release has now earned $449.9 million for a global haul of $890.3 million. Sometime over the weekend, it will become the fastest film in history to cross $1 billion worldwide.
>For the weekend, conservative estimates show Force Awakens earning $150 million-plus in North America. It's also the biggest second weekend in history (Jurassic World is the current record-holder with $106 million). Overall, Christmas Day revenue at the North American box office crossed $100 million for the first time ever; record levels are also expected for the holiday weekend, or north of $300 million.
