The Marvel Comics superhero film broke the record for the highest opening weekend globally of all time with $644 million at the end of Friday.

The North American movie box office raked in $11.4 billion in 2016, making it the highest-earning year in history.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens once again proves to be a smash hit before it even begins screening: vendor website Fandango has already sold more tickets for the film than it has for any other during its entire theatrical run.
