Looks like Avengers 2 won't pass F&F7 at the boxoffice. Some people were predicting $2B. 

Star Wars will reach that kind of money in about a month.

There are many things to consider, such as inflation and box-office development in countries like China, but Star Wars, even at its peak of popularity, didn't cross the $1b mark. I am convinced that this time it will, though I am not sure about $2b.

Actually The Phantom Menace did make over a billion world wide.

But that includes the numbers from a couple times it was re released also.  I'm also not sure about the next one making $2 billion but over a billion is pretty much guranteed.
