Well the Holiday weekend has come and gone but Star Wars is an unstoppable force! For a second week in a row The Force Awakens cashed in big at the box office and is crushing records on daily basis. It took in another $150,000,000 in ticket sales bringing its week and a half total to over $540,000,000! There were a couple honorable mentions this weekend. Daddy’s Home the new Will Ferrell comedy took in an impressive $39,000,000 and Joy managed to grab $17,000,000. The Hateful Eight managed to round up $4,500,000 in a very limited opening, it doesn’t open in a wide release until this weekend. All decent numbers considering, uhm, STAR WARS! Pretty sure its going to be sitting at the top of the heap for a while. I mean it broke a billion dollars in less than a week in worldwide ticket sales. Dats a lot of moolah!
