If you leave totals unadjusted. If you actually adjust them for ticket price inflation, then it's below the OG trilogy and probably Ep 1 (haven't done the math, yet.) Of course, none of those films benefited from the huge expansion to both the domestic and foreign markets we have seen in the last decade or so, both in population and availability.
Either way, it's looking to finish ~$740M+ and ~36%+ down from TFA. That is a horrible result. Especially when even after the drop they were expecting to be ~$400M and ~23% down.
