'Star Wars' awakens to biggest box office opening ever

Quote
"Star Wars" now rules the box office galaxy.

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" became the biggest opening in movie history bringing in an estimated $238 million in the U.S. this weekend.

The film flew past the opening weekend record held by Universal's "Jurassic World," which made $208.8 million on the weekend it opened in June.

So far the film has made $517 million around the world since opening overseas on Wednesday. This is the second highest global debut of all-time behind only "Jurassic World," which made $525 million globally in June.
However, "The Force Awakens" has yet to open in China, the world's second biggest film market. It will open there on January 9.

Wow, google translate makes that a tough read.  I read it twice now and I'm still not sure what George is saying in some places.
