2015 Discussion Thread: Universal wins the calendar year | SW: TFA - biggest film domestic, 3rd biggest film worldwide

I PMd Neo asking for a link, haven't gotten anything back yet.

I tried PMing him, and said he couldn't receive PMS. must be his Message box was full.

Age of Ultron should be #1 OS for 2015, but DOM... I think it and SW7 could both end up in the 550-600M range

[Kvikk Lunsj]

It would be cool if Star Wars would win box office title in 2015.

Avengers 2 will crush SW7

OS and OW maybe, but DOM I think it'll be close

I think SW7 will not meet the expectations that some have set for it.

I really do want to keep my expectations reasonable, but just every time I hear Star Wars 7 I go crazy

I know how you feel. I over predicted TFIOS and Apes this Summer due to bias.

[DAJK]

I kept my TF4 prediction sub 1B WW due to bias...

[Michael Gary Scott]

Star Wars 7 for the win

I think if Star Wars VII is great, it really has a chance at beating AOU in all columns. It needs to be great though.

[peludo]

I think Avengers is very probable to win OS and WW, but DOM will be an enormous battle against SW7, the biggest ever. I am very curious about both runs.

[Mulder]

I think people are underestimating SW7 in general.

Domestically, for sure. But I do not think it can reach TA2 OS. ROTS did not reach 500 OS. I know OS markets have grown a lot since 2005, but I am thinking in 700s for SW7, maybe 800. And TA2 is nearly locked for billion OS.

[Jessie]

Avengers is certainly not locked to win domestically. It has a good chance, but using the word lock is basically saying Star Wars is guaranteed to atleast be the 2nd lowest ticket seller for a Star Wars movie. It only needs to sell as many tickets as ROTS and with 3d that would give it a total of around 550-560m, which Avengers may even struggle to reach.

Only 4 films have a weekend to themselves in North America this summer: AVENGERS 2, UNTITLED REESE WITHERSPOON, JURASSIC WORLD & MINIONS.

Untitled Reese Witherspoon in no way deserves a weekend all to itself...

Well, it's the Avengers' 2nd weekend so they might as well put a Witherspoon/Vergara comedy in there. It's probably gonna do somewhat well, and it's basically the only genre that could do well for itself in that spot.
