I think you're underselling Star Wars, you don't get massive box office like this without tremendously wide appeal. 

When I saw it again a couple of weeks ago in the afternoon, there were like 6 or 7 senior couples watching it. There were kids. There was a 40 something woman in front of me with her elderly mother. It's not just one demographic. 

Star Wars is really more fairy tale/epic myth than it is science fiction, that's why it appeals very broadly across the board. 

 

I didn't say it was just one demographic. I'm saying it doesn't have the wide enough appeal to beat or match avatar because of what I said earlier.

 

Avatar had the 3D gimmick going for it which was "new" at the time, that propelled its box office higher, remove that and make the currency situations equal and I think Avatar would fall to Force Awakens.
