“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” continues its climb to the top by breaking even more records. At the end of The Force Awakens, Artoo wakes up and has the rest of the map that The Resistance needs in order to find Luke Skywalker.
Frank, who has collaborated with Kathleen and Jurassic World director Colin several times in the past, has been a big supporter of the new Star Wars film and tweeted several pictures of himself at the London premiere.
That said, Universal’s Jurassic World still retained the belt for the biggest foreign opening (The Force Awakens still has to make its debut in China), so I’m sure they’re not too bummed about losing a couple of records to a fellow movie franchise titan. The latest Star Wars brought in $238 million domestically this past weekend, crushing the previous record-holder, Jurassic World, which brought in $208 million in its first weekend.

Gwendoline Christie’s Captain Phasma is severely underused; she never really gets a moment to call her own and dominate the screen.
For comparison’s sake – particularly in Boyega and Ridley’s cases – Jennifer Lawrence earned $500,000 upfront for the first Hunger Games installment.
