As we seen spin-off can't match the originals. Tomorrowland? Forgot Bond.

Oh yeah, I forgot bond, yeah that has million dollar potential.

 

Despicable Me Minions, the difference here is that the Minions are the pull factor for Despicable Me.  When you compare it to most spin-offs, they usually aren't based off the pull factor of their original movies.  It'll probably decrease Domestically, but I see it increasing internationally.

 

Tomorrowland is just a wild guess at a movie breaking out and pulling big numbers, if any original movie does it, it'll probably be it.

RE: SW7

May not have the same popularity as the previous movies, even the prequels. The OS may still be huge. 

PHANTOM MENACE did $754M DOM adjusted. I won't be surprised if SW7 did less than $500M DOM.

Unless JJ bring something more than just flares & shakey cams (an annoying fad that needs to die a 

quick death!)

 

MJ2 is locked to be No 3. Bond 23 is something special. But domestically it will be monumentally challenging to top 

SF without villain as fantastic as Bardem.

 

I do agree reboots like JW & T5 GENESIS will not scale 1B WW height but I also don't see any potential breakouts from either. Those 2 movies may be exciting for fans but tiresome for regular audience. And after DRAGON2, SMAUG, WALKING WITH DINO & GODZILLA how many giant lizards GA can take? Pixar's GOOD DINO will have an even harder time to make an impression. GA wants DORY not Barney...

I think the floor is around 480m. I expect AoU to have a considerable drop, no matter how good it is. It'll be close, but I'm predicting a SW win for now.

[a2k]

In 2015 we could have two 500m+ grossers for the first time.

I am positive we will have two $500M+ grossers for the first time.

Doesn't equal 1B. You think Minions will do 602M OS?

Even if it gets a 250M OW?

It won't get a 250m OW.

[Neo]

It won't get a 250m OW.

Like Avatar wouldn't make 749M, the average prediction were between 250M-325M.

I still have  hopes for Jurassic Park 4 if they get back Goldblum and everyone..And yes indeed Bond has potential billion dollar potential.

Lol Im hoping SWs wins and upsets Avengers lol..But for disney its a win win .

[Fancyarcher]

I actually wouldn't mind it if Star Wars beat Avengers personally.

 

Star Wars: Episode Seven does sound promising.

Edited March 2, 2014 by Fancyarcher

[CloneWars]

I'm honestly expecting Avengers and VII to be pretty close in gross both DOM and WW.

[The Panda]

Minions are popular.

Last 3 movies will have a negative effect. Too soon to tell as no promotion has begun. Though 500m not a lock.

 So am I. BKB will go nuclear if SW wins both.
