With Tuesday’s figures added in, Star Wars: The Force Awakens has moved up a notch on the all-time international box office chart. Picking up $14.2M on Monday overseas, followed by another $11.5M yesterday, the offshore cume is now $946.9M. That takes TFA to No. 6 ever internationally, passing Disney’s own Avengers: Age Of Ultron. The next stop this week is No. 5 when it waves a wand at Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2’s $960.5M. This puts the $1B mark within reach possibly this weekend.
