Their enthusiasm for the new movie reflects in the box office take, the new Star Wars film has ranked in the biggest opening weekend ever in the United States and Canada.
Numbers from Box Office Mojo indicated that Star Wars: The Force Awakens brought in $238 million for the studio in the United States and Canada alone making it the biggest opening weekend ever for a film.
It broke the record of Jurassic World, a new iteration to yet another popular title, which set a similar record earlier this year in June by bringing in $208 million for the studio during the first weekend.
Across the globe Star Wars: The Force Awakened pulled in about $517 million, missing out slightly on overtaking the international weekend opening record set earlier this year by Jurassic World at $525.5 million.
