Village Roadshow CEO Kirk Edwards says "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" could overtake "Avatar" as the highest-grossing film on record in Australia. The new Star Wars film’s local box-office takings exceeded $A25m on the weekend of 19-20 December 2015, and Edwards expects it to gross at least $A100m overall. It is estimated that the film’s global ticket sales have exceeded $US250m ($A348m) to date.
