Disney/Lucasfilm"The Force Awakens."

The opening weekend box-office run by "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is nothing short of historic.

It goes without saying that the seventh episode in the "Star Wars" saga topped the weekend box office, but the question is was it enough to surpass "Jurassic World" as the biggest opening weekend of all time?

The answer is yes. "Force Awakens" surpassed the record of $208.4 million set by "World" over the summer with an astounding estimated $238 million in North America, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Industry insiders believe the number could be closer to $240 million. Final weekend totals come out on Monday.

MERCEDES-BENZ THE BEST (FOOD) OR NOTHING (re branded)

Mercedes-Benz is so classy ... even their commercial shoots have 5-star catering for lunch.

Check out the menu on a recent set in Pasadena for the brand new GLE 350 SUV ... it's pretty far from a cold-cut platter.

-- Spicy shrimp over white grits topped with garlic beer creole sauce

-- Organic buttermilk fried chicken & jalapeño waffle topped with country sausage gravy

-- Kobe meatloaf over Yukon gold mashed potatoes topped with a root beer raisin glaze

-- Fresh apple & berry cobbler

We're told the crew for the commercial went nuts ... and everyone cleaned their plates.

Your move, Hyundai.
