'Star Wars' to pass 'Avatar' for N. America box office record


Disney said the seventh film in the "Star Wars" saga had grossed $758.2 million through Tuesday, when it took in $8 million, and would easily surpass the $760.5 million earned by James Cameron's Oscar-winning futuristic sci-fi epic "Avatar."

At $1.56 billion in global earnings, "The Force Awakens" still has some work ahead to overtake "Avatar" ($2.79 billion) or another Cameron blockbuster, "Titanic" ($2.19 billion).

It is now fourth in all-time worldwide revenues, also trailing "Jurassic World" ($1.67 billion).
