In just 20 days, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" has become the highest-grossing film of all time in North America. The film has earned more than $760 million domestically, and it's showing no signs of slowing down.
While 2009's "Avatar" is still the highest-grossing movie worldwide, earning $2.78 billion, "Star Wars" could soon overtake James Cameron's sci-fi flick as box-office king. After all, it's already brought in over $1.5 billion worldwide.
Surpassing "Avatar' will depend on how well the film does in China, the second-largest movie market, when it premieres January 9.
