The movie smashed all global records for an opening. It set records everywhere. If it closed right now, it would still be one of the highest grossing films in history.

When you have to resort to the tired old statistical trick of citing the latest figure in nominal (i.e. non-inflation-adjusted) dollars as a "record", it's time to give up.

Using actual receipts is a "tired old statistical trick?"
