There's no way in hell Star Wars is gonna get close to 3 billion and beat Avatar. Star Wars will make a lot of cash FAST but it won't have the legs that Avatar had. No movie had legs like Avatar and Titanic.

Sure, it has a chance to beat Titanic (unadjusted). But Titanic (adjusted) has over 1 billion domestically and freaking who knows how much internationally  adjusted (hint hint A SHIT TON!!!!) Titanic was triumphant and a true cinematic masterpiece that stunned the hearts of the world. Star Wars doesn't have that.

It should beat Jurassic World (which should have been better than it was.)

I just don't want Star Wars to beat my two fav box office champs, Titanic and Avatar which both held their records for YEARS. And well, isn't it a rule now that only Cameron can beat Cameron? 

Avatar 2 will make the world explode.

If no movie had legs like Avatar and Titanic before it then what stipulation is there that no movie can legs like that after them?

Titanic's US adjusted for inflation figures are $1.13 billion but the original Star Wars US adjusted for inflation is $1.48 billion.

Avatar 2 will fail to match the money magic of the first film because it will not have the same new technology factor that drove sales of the first film.

Want it to beat your favorite films or not, it has a very real shot at it.

 

A third of the orignal Star Wars domestic  gross is from rereleases. Adjusted  and only counting original release Star Wars loses to a dozen films. and that is just domestic.  Imagine if we had adjusted worldwide.
