The force was with the final "Star Wars" movie last weekend when it raked in $ 108.4 million in North America, the second- biggest three-day box office haul ever, figures showed Monday.
George Lucas' classic sci-fi saga generated a whopping $ 158.4 million in its first four days on US and Canadian screens, a record for a four-day period, box office trackers Exhibitor Relations Co. Inc said.
"Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith" also set a single-day record, raking in more than $ 50 million on its opening day on Thursday, shattering "Shrek 2's" single-day record of nearly $ 44.8 million .
But the film failed to smash the critical three-day record set three years ago by the weekend opening of "Spider-Man," which notched up $ 114.8 million in ticket sales, Exhibitor Relations said.
