The milestone comes on the same weekend that The Force Awakens debuted in China, where broke records upon its opening on Saturday. Domestically, the film passed $800 million this weekend.

The Force Awakens still needs to generate many millions more to pass Titanic ($2.186 billion) and Avatar ($2.78 billion), which are the two biggest box office smashes in film history.
