“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” is on the verge of sending the foreign and worldwide box office records set by the dinosaurs of “Jurassic World” last summer into extinction. The J.J. Abrams-directed space epic has taken in $129 million from abroad since it began rolling out Wednesday, distributor Disney reported Saturday. That puts it within striking distance of the international opening weekend record of $316.1 million and the record for a worldwide — that is foreign and domestic grosses combined — opening weekend of $524.9 million within range. “The Force Awakens” brought in a record $120 million-plus in its first day at the North American. »
