Of course if they called Zen, Jedi they might have had it out sooner.

The Force Awakens has been breaking domestic records, including the biggest single-day gross ($120.5 million), biggest Thursday preview ($57 million), best December debut and multiple IMAX records. Worldwide, it's estimated to rake in $517 million over its first five days.
