Star Wars: The Force Awakens Becomes First Film In History To Pass $800 Million At Domestic Box Office

After passing Avatar this week to become the top-grossing film in domestic box office history, Star Wars: The Force Awakens took only a few days to reach another milestone: over the weekend, Episode VII passed the $800 million mark -- obviously, the first film ever to do so.

The film earned $41.6 million to take the #1 spot at the box office for the third week in a row, followed by The Revenant with a very respectable $38 million debut. The Mark Wahlberg/Will Ferrell comedy Daddy's Home took third place with $15 million, and The Forest ($13 million) and Sisters ($7 million) rounded out the top five.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens total domestic box office take now stands at $812 million. Check out Comicbook.com's list of the highest grossing movies of all-time at the worldwide box office.
