For the second time in 2015, a film has broken America’s opening weekend box office record.
“Jurassic Park” first achieved the feat when it debuted with $208.8 million this summer.
“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” set a new record this weekend.
The seventh “Star Wars” film earned a record-breaking $248.0 million in its first weekend at the domestic box office.
The record-breaking tally obviously allowed “Star Wars” to obliterate this weekend’s box office. New releases “Alvin And The Chipmunks: The Road Chip” (#2) and “Sisters” (#3) follow distantly courtesy grosses of $14.3 million and $13.9 million, respectively.
“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2” ($5.9 million) and “Creed” ($5.0 million) complete the weekend’s Top 5.
