Deadline:
In Europe, it has now crossed $600M to become only the third film ever in the region to do so.
The other 2 movies are Titanic and Avatar, I guess? So TFA grossed $600M in Europe with a population of ~750M and North America comes in with $900M / ~350M inhabitants. It shows what a huge cultural behemoth Star Wars is in America.
9M admission for a fan-boy driven movie are pretty damn amazing. And such a result impressives even more in a country, where streaming movies illegally is a common way to watch movies, unfortunately.

I'm more than happy with everything over $100m, Rogue One will increase the hype in China and other Asian countries, so SW8 will profit from the increasing awareness and WOM, grossing more than $200m, maybe even $300m.

Bo.com says that TFA already overtook TPM and moved into 17th place. So which list is the correct one? The list also states that Lion King is ahead of TPM at #16.
