THE FORCE AWAKENS: The $900 Million Threshold Will Soon Be Crossed...

Aboard a Star Destroyer bridge, General Hux (Domhnall Gleeson) and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) confer as Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie) looks on in STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS.

By the end of Super Bowl Sunday (this coming Sunday), The Force Awakens will have achieved two major milestones as it soon completes its historic theatrical run around the world. By the end of tonight, it will have crossed the $900 million domestic box office mark in the United States and Canada, while tomorrow will see J.J. Abrams' uber-successful Star Wars installment passing the $2 billion box office mark internationally. By the end of its run, The Force Awakens will possibly pass Titanic to become the second highest-grossing film worldwide (James Cameron's 1998 Best Picture winner grossed $2.19 billion globally) but fall short of Avatar's mammoth gross (at $2.78 billion) in 2010. Go to Deadline.com for more details.
