The initial weekend box office estimate suggested record-breaking earnings for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, with an expected $238 million debut. Now, however, it appears that number is even larger than reports predicted.
Disney has adjusted the film's Sunday earnings, increasing the already monstrously-large figure by $9 million. This not only means The Force Awakens made a whopping $247m during its opening weekend, as it also broke Sunday's box office record with $61 million.
Also, when factoring in the extra $9m made domestically and additional $2m internationally, Star Wars: The Force Awakens has a new worldwide total of $529 million, eclipsing Jurassic World's impressive global debut.
