Fifty days after it first soared into theaters and "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is still shattering box office records. As of today, "The Force Awakens" is expected to cross $900 million at the domestic box office, becoming the first -- and only -- film in history to hit that milestone. This puts even more distance between "Star Wars" and the domestic runner up, "Avatar," which $760.5M in the US during its run.

By Saturday, a press release from Disney notes that the latest "Star Wars" film will become the third film to cross the $2 billion mark world wide, and just the second to do so in its initial theatrical run. It will join "Avatar" and "Titanic" in the worldwide $2 billion club.

“This is a historic moment for Star Wars, for Lucasfilm, and for Disney, and all of us here are extremely gratified to be a part of this journey with fans around the world who have made 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' such an extraordinary success,” said Alan Horn (Chairman, The Walt Disney Studios) in a Disney press release. “The film’s achievements are truly astounding, and it’s our great honor to relaunch this cinematic galaxy not only for all the devoted decades-long fans but for a new generation who will keep the Star Wars legacy alive for many years to come.”

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" opened on December 18, 2015, breaking records for single day, opening weekend, the Monday record and fastest-to-$300M record in under a week's time. Disney's press release includes a more in-depth list of the records the film has so far claimed.
