- 8 years ago
Not even Leonardo DiCaprio can stop the Star Wars phenomenon.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the newly minted record holder for all-time domestic box office, pulled in another $41.6 million this weekend, according to studio estimates.
The movie finished in first place for a fourth weekend and narrowly defeated DiCaprio's wilderness thriller The Revenant, which made its debut with $38 million in nationwide release ($39.6 million total since opening Christmas Day in limited release).
The Force Awakens increased its record domestic haul to $812 million and added another $104.3 million in the rest of the world — including a $53 million opening weekend in China, a new Saturday/Sunday record there.
It now stands as the No. 3 movie of all time globally with $1.7 billion, having just passed Jurassic World.
