The new Star Wars: The Force Awakens shattered box office records on its opening weekend with a whopping $238 million in ticket sales.
“This is a record that will stand for a long time,” says Jeff Bock, an analyst at Exhibitor Relations. “This gives us an idea of how much a movie can make on a particular weekend.”
The record was previously held by Jurassic World, which opened earlier this year at $208.8 million ticket sales.
