I do not really think any of those will make it. The last bond was kind of a reboot and had great reviews and got lucky.

 

Hunger games....no. Star wars is the only one I am nervous about, but I think will be between 800 million and a billion. WW could push that one...

The 3 "The Hunger Games" movies have an average of about $760 ml. And this one will be the last movie. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 has got $960 ml,  $336 ml more than its previous average ($624 ml).

I'd say The Hunger Games is a safe bet.

Then, yeah... Star Wars. Although I never understood the excitement about that franchise. There are better SciFi movies out there. Also more suited for adults. :D

There is one big difference with Hunger Games vs Harry Potter. Deathly Hallows part 1 was the second highest grossing movie behind Sorcerer's Stone (the first movie). Mockingjay Pt 1 grossed 100 million lower than Catching Fire. So Deathly Hallows pt 2 came out when the film series was on the ascendant, again. Mockingjay pt 1 will come out with the series on a slight decline. I'm more inclined to compare Hunger Games performance with Twilight's performance, part 2 will do better than part 1, but not that much better. Probably in the mid to high $800 million, not more than $900 million.
