It was revealed yesterday that Star Wars: The Force Awakens had earned around $517 million worldwide, earning it the biggest domestic opening weekend of all-time, and today it was announced that more accurate number was actually $528 million, which makes it the biggest weekend of all-time, beating the previous winner Jurassic World. Well, Amblin at least they took it in good stride.
Frank Marshall posted on his Twitter feed today an image sent from himself, Steven Spielberg and Colin Trevorrow to J.J. Abrams, Kathleen Kennedy and the rest of the cast and crew that congratulated them on their win.
Check it out below:
