Star Wars: The Force Awakens Leaves Theaters With $936.66 Million Domestic

After just shy of six months at 168 days, Star Wars: The Force Awakens has left all domestic theaters. It finished its run with a staggering $936,662,225 in the North American box office. In pure dollars, that’s the top dollar amount by a significant margin, as Avatar comes in second at $760.5 million. The numbers get trickier adjusted for inflation, as it clocks in at #11 overall (but still above Avatar and one of only three films in the top 25 from the 21st century), but adjusted gross is only the pure dollar amount, it does not account for the shifting film industry, including higher levels of competition, more frequent releases, and competition from outside forces like television, video games, and many other sources of entertainment available now. Still, that’s double of sister-studio’s Avengers: Age of Ultron, which pulled in $459 million.

The Force Awakens, the first Disney-owned Lucasfilm big screen release, finished with over thirty box office records and over $2 billion in worldwide gross. The foreign markets pulled in $1.13 billion to finish its run at $2.068 billion overall. That’s a worldwide finish in third place, below Avatar and Titanic, though the latter got to its $2.187 billion mark through re-releases of the film.

Disney’s last year has been pretty incredible. $2 billion from Star Wars, $1.4 billion from Avengers: Age of Ultron, $1.13 billion and counting from Captain America: Civil War, $1 billion and counting from Zootopia, $896 million and counting from The Jungle Book, $857 million from Inside Out, $544 million from Cinderella, $519.4 million from Ant-Man, and none of that counts home release sales and rentals, toys, or other tie-in products. They’ve had their share of underperformers and even flops, but the rest of this year looks nigh-unstoppable for Disney’s entire line-up of studios.
