Star Wars: The Force Awakens continues its world-wide takeover. After just 2 weeks in Australian cinemas it’s become 2015’s highest grossing movie (overtaking what Jurassic World grossed in 10 weeks) and the second highest-grossing movie of all time. It’s now taken a total of $60.9 million. Only Avatar in 2009/2010 has taken more money at the Australian box office (a still astonishing $115.6 million). See the all-time Top 10 here.
