The trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was watched more than 60 million times on YouTube during its first week of being posted, blasting past the first-week totals for trailers for Jurassic World and Avengers: Age of Ultron. It’s already on pace to become the most-watched trailer ever, and many experts believe that when it’s actually released, The Force Awakens may challenge Avatar for the biggest grossing movie of all time.
