    STAR WARS: The Force Awakens showed few signs of flagging over Christmas weekend, barrelling past the US$1 billion mark globally at a faster clip than any film in history.

    It's becoming old hat to recount the various ways that the seventh film in the science-fiction fantasy is vaporising records, but, familiar or not, The Force Awakens once again ground down high-water marks over the holidays, racking up US$153.5 million domestically.
