WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Star Wars:The Force Awakens threpeats atop the chart with 88.3MM, and will likely pass Avatar as the alltime domestic champ on Tuesday.  Whether it can match that film's 2 Billion in overseas receipts remains to be seen.  Daddy's Home places with 29MM, with a 93.6MM total against a reported 50MM production budget. The expansion of Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight shows with 16.2MM, and its 29.6MM to date is fine against a 40MM budget, though tracking more like the Kill Bill films than his biggest films, Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained.
