The newest “Star Wars” movie is setting records bigger than its own studio expected.  “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” did more than half a billion dollars, 529-million, in worldwide box office during its opening weekend.  Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger calls the open for the first “Star Wars” movie in a decade “bigger than big.”  And it hasn’t even opened in China yet.  “Star Wars” surpassed the mark set earlier this year by “Jurassic World” by about four-million bucks.
