My 5.9-6.2 guess was spot on. Maybe I should start doing this derby thing.

THR has an article too, lists the records the other outlets wrote about too, and those

...

Other domestic records include biggest second weekend of all time ($149.2 million), biggest third weekend ($90.2 million), biggest Thursday preview gross ($57 million), biggest Christmas Day ($49.3 million), biggest New Year's Day ($34.4 million), highest location average for a wide debut ($59,982) and biggest opening week ($390.9 million).

....

Many box-office observers suggest the Star Wars reboot will ultimately gross $2.2 billion to $2.4 billion worldwide, passing up Cameron's Titanic ($2.19 billion) to become the No. 2 film of all time, not accounting for inflation. Already, it's at No. 4.

Only two films have earned $700 million or more in North America: Avatar and Force Awakens.

Thats a relatively soft drop for a Wednesday. So it should stay right around 6 for Thursday and I'm still expecting around a 50 million dollar weekend. This is obviously playing very well with families and when you have a strong family filmit pretty much blows up on the weekend.

 

This is something I mentioned during the holidays.  I think this movie will play like a family movie from here on out...which means...

 

LEGS.  Long, gorgeous, beautiful legs.

Do I understand that right = today is your birthday?

If yes, congratulations!

So I think this is accurate, but feel free to correct any errors. The All-Time Domestic B.O. Champs (start year indicates year it overtook previous record-holder, NOT film's release date):

 

1915-1939: Birth of a Nation

1939-1966: Gone With The Wind

1966-1971: The Sound of Music

1971-1972: Gone With The Wind (earned enough in 1971 re-release to overtake “Sound of Music")

1972-1976: The Godfather

1976-1978: Jaws

1978-1983: Star Wars

1983-1997: E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial

1997-1998: Star Wars (re-released in 1997; overtook “Jurassic Park”)

1998-2010: Titanic

2010-2016: Avatar

2016-????: Star Wars: The Force Awakens

 

As noted elsewhere, SW:TFA is the first sequel to hold the title.
