Having earned $539.3 million to date stateside, The Last Jedi now has its sights set on the No. 5 slot – currently held by Marvel’s The Avengers, which accumulated $623.3 million during its theatrical run in 2012.
It’s hard to say at this point how much higher The Last Jedi will scale on the all-time global box office list, but since the film is less than three weeks into its theatrical run, a run for a top 10 slot on the list is entirely conceivable.
Thanks to a healthy box office globally Tuesday, Star Wars: The Last Jedi is now among the 20 highest grossing films worldwide of all time.
The Last Jedi is certainly making great strides domestically, having passed The Dark Knight’s $534.8 million mark at the box office over the weekend for the No. 6 spot on the list.
