The seventh installment in the iconic sci-fi series surpassed the $760.5 million mark previously set by _Avatar_ in a record-breaking 20 days of release, according to early box office numbers. It has become the [top-earning film of all time in North America](http://time.com/4165958/star-wars-the-force-awakens-avatar-box-office-record/ "undefined"), Disney said. The blockbuster also crossed its $800 million mark at the international box office on Wednesday, according to the company. **Records destroyed** Within two weeks, _The Force Awakens_ set several records, including biggest all-time and December debut which lead to the biggest overall movie-going weekend of all time, Disney said. It is also the fastest film to reach $700 million, which took 16 days, and [broke opening day box office records](http://time.com/4156046/force-awakens-box-office/ "undefined"), domestic and worldwide. _The Force Awakens_ has also earned the highest domestic second and third weekend ever, set a new domestic record for the biggest Christmas Day and New Year’s Day box office haul with $34.5 million, and became IMAX’s second highest-grossing movie ever. **Records yet to be broken** _The Force Awakens_ is currently the fourth highest-grossing global movie of all time, behind _Jurassic World, Titanic_ and _Avatar_, which sits at the top. The movie could potentially unseat _Avatar_ if it performs well in China, where it is set to debut on Saturday. It could also become China’s highest-earning movie, but that chance is slim because the franchise is not well-known there, [according to _Bloomberg Business._](http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-01-06/one-place-star-wars-won-t-break-box-office-record-is-china "undefined") _Furious 7_ holds the record for the biggest international movie in China with $391.4 million in ticket sales, _Bloomberg_ reports. _The Force Awakens_ has also yet to break adjusted for inflation records. It is No. 21 on the list after raking in $700 million and will only enter the top 10 when it grosses more than $909 million, [according to _Deadline.com_](http://deadline.com/2015/12/star-wars-box-office-compares-biggest-all-time-films-adjusted-inflation-1201673871/ "undefined"). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4171394/star-wars-force-awakens-records/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4171394/star-wars-force-awakens-records/"},"headline":"All the Records Star Wars: The Force Awakens Has (And Hasn’t) Broken","datePublished":"2016-01-07T17:38:22.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T09:04:08.125Z","description":"It still hasn’t broken international records","url":"https://time.com/4171394/star-wars-force-awakens-records/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt01c6a0884a8d7179/6988775de20a87d8b7a8edf6/star-wars-the-force-awakens.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Chan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-chan/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt01c6a0884a8d7179/6988775de20a87d8b7a8edf6/star-wars-the-force-awakens.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"star-wars-the-force-awakens","caption":"star-wars-the-force-awakens","creditText":"Lucasfilm","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4171394/star-wars-force-awakens-records/","name":"All the Records Star Wars: The Force Awakens Has (And Hasn’t) Broken"}}]}] ```
