'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' is the fastest movie ever to earn $1 billion at the box office
Disney
After nabbing the Christmas Day box office record with $49.3 million, shattering the previous record-holder 2009's "Sherlock Holmes" ($24.6 million), with the weekend coming to the close "The Force Awakens" has grabbed another honor, becoming the record-holder for the fastest movie ever to gross $1 billion globally.
Disney said the film blew past $1 billion this weekend, according to the Wrap, which puts it comfortably over the mark one day quicker than "Jurassic World," which did the feat in 13 days last June.
It seems every week "The Force Awakens" knocks off a record made over the summer by "Jurassic World." Along with taking the opening weekend record last weekend from the super-sized dinosaur pic, and now the $1 billion record, over the weekend "Awakens" topped "World" as the fastest film to top $400 million at the domestic box office.
