Star Wars: The Force Awakens is now 6/5 to become the highest grossing movie of all time, eclipsing the $2.76 billion record currently held by Avatar, reports William Hill.

Avatar is 8/13 to retain its record.

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens is one of the most anticipated movies of all time and tickets have already sold out for many early showings suggesting that it could race towards the Avatar total,” said William Hill spokesman Joe Crilly.

The popularity of the film could also give Star Wars Battlefront a shot at being the video game No.1 this Christmas, with its odds coming in from 7/1 to 5/2.

“Star Wars Battlefront has surged up the betting from an original 7/1 and as the hype surrounding the movie increases, we think demand for the game will do so and it could easily be the number one game this Christmas,” added Crilly.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is favourite for the crown at 7/4, followed by Star Wars, then FIFA 16 which has widened to 7/2. Fallout 4 is a 4/1 outsider.
