Star Wars: The Force Awakens has done the unthinkable… it has shattered the all time domestic box office record set by Avatar to become North America’s top grossing movie ever. Now, let’s take a look at some more records the movie has broken!

The movie broke the record on Wednesday afternoon (January 6) in just 20 days of release. The movie has now grossed over $760.5 million, which was what Avatar made in its full run plus its re-release.

The Force Awakens, which stars a hot young cast alongside vets like Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher, has broken a ton of other records as well, like biggest opening weekend ever, biggest opening day, and fastest to reach $100 million.
