![]() Completely cribbing the information I used six months ago when Jurassic World opened, here’s where we’re at regarding the largest opening weekends of all time: We now have to look at Jurassic World’s opening weekend record of $208.8 million, a number which The Force Awakens is already 57% of the way to accomplishing. ![]() And oh, by the way, in just one day, The Force Awakens has completely obliterated the December opening *weekend* record, which belonged to The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey that started with $84.6 million in 2012. It was reported that $57 million of that Friday total comes from Thursday night showings, which was also a record. That is, by far, the biggest single day of box office in history, absolutely crushing the film that held that title for nearly four and a half years, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, which launched with $91 million in July of 2001. I won’t make you wait any longer than you need to: Star Wars: The Force Awakens earned $120.5 million on Friday. Star Wars: The Force Awakens Friday Analysis By Tim Briody December 19, 2015
