You do realize that Christmas is the best time for a movie because it gives it long time with little competition. Jan. and Feb. Studios release there crap movie's they know won't do well. Avatar and Titanic both released in this time with not big huge opens but the drought of films helped give them legs and lots of money. People here are dumb to think just because this movie has more hype than Jurassic that means it will win,example no one was hyped for Titanic and it made a shit ton of money.And there are 20 films that have made over a billion dollars but only one of them is a Star wars movie, and it had to be rereleased to cross that Mark! So fanboys here need to bump the breaks, this movie will make alot of money because of the drought of movies to come but don't think it will be the biggest film ever. Believe it or not it's a film that caters to a certain crowd and many won't watch a nerdy space film, just look at age of ultron geek out to much you lose some movie goers.

Titanic is the only one of those 20 movies over 1b that was released before the Phantom Menace.

Jurassic Park is number 19 on the billion list and released before both of those movies. And phantom menace is number 20. Four years after that lord of the rings rotk made a billion and is 12 on the list what's your point? That would make lord of the rings a bigger franchise than star wars by your reasoning. But the hobbit didn't shatter records nor did age of ultron top the first avengers movie. Get over it, not everyone likes star wars and that's OK. Also alot of movies tank after first week in sales so preorder tickets prove nothing toward longevity, only that it will have a big first week.
