2015 Box Office Record $11 Billion Universal studio nr1
Quote:
With two days left in 2015, the overall domestic box office for the calendar year has crossed $11 billion for the first time ever. The record pace at which Star Wars: The Force Awakens has reached $600+ million over the last twelve days was obviously the push the box office needed to reach that mark, but it wasn't alone in making an impact on the year.

Beyond American Sniper's record breaking weekend in January, Fifty Shades of Grey broke the opening weekend record in February, Furious 7 broke the April opening weekend record, Jurassic World broke the June opening weekend record, Hotel Transylvania 2 broke the September opening weekend record and Star Wars: The Force Awakens broke the December and all-time opening weekend records among several others. And don't forget, Avengers: Age of Ultron fell just shy of the May opening weekend record with a massive $191.2 million opening, $16.1 million short of its record holding predecessor.
