It’s also looking to destroy the current second weekend record for a movie, currently held by James Cameron’s Avatar with $75.6 million as well as The Dark Knight‘s second weekend take of $75.2 million as projections have it bringing in as much as $100 million in its second weekend, down roughly 51% from its record opening.
Worldwide, the movie has grossed $854 million through yesterday, which should put it among the Top 20 all-time global blockbusters by weekend’s end, placing it in the realm of Jurassic Park and some of the “Harry Potter” movies after a little over two weeks.
Check back later this weekend for updated numbers for what’s turning out to not only be the biggest hit of 2012 but also one of the biggest blockbusters of all time.
