In an interview with Bloomberg on Monday morning, Disney chief Bob Iger said that while numbers are still rolling in, "The Force Awakens" is currently on track to earn approximately $528 million over its first three days, surpassing "World's" opening weekend global total of $524.9 million. It previously bested that flick's domestic opening total of $208.8 million, too, with early estimates suggesting "Force" had earned about $238 million.
But the good news continues for Disney: Iger said Monday that those initial estimates were actually lower than what the company is currently tracking, and "The Force Awakens" could wind up with a domestic opening haul of a whopping $247 million -- or possibly even higher.
"That's an incredible weekend," Iger told Bloomberg, in one of the biggest understatements ever.
With all the tickets it's already sold, expect "The Force Awakens" to remain a box office powerhouse for the foreseeable future. The records can only keep falling from here.
