Theres more than just that, the marketing campaing and keeping the mistery about the plot worked wonders, but theres also nostalgia and the fact that Eps 1-3 sucked at play, if 1-3 had been great I dont think ppl would have this much craving for a new Star Wars, itd sell super well but I dont think it would be this insane. Also the reviews both professionaly and by viewers and the word of mouth have been generaly favorable wich helpped a lot as well.

 


Do you mean episode VII won't outgross Avatar or do you mean Avatar 2?

It can outrgross Avatar, its hard but possible, itll likely do 1 billion on USA alone its left for the rest fo the world to do the other 1.5 billion. Right now it seens liek worldwide itll end at 1.2 or so billion (the movie is strong worldwide but not nearly as strong as it is on the USA rigth now), but who knows, it still ahs to open on China, the chinese might go nuts watching it and send it over the 1.5 bil worldwide mark.

ehhh Star Wars is far from a certainty of breaking a billion in the USA. 850 million or so are some guesstimates people are thinking of. unfortunately Star Wars is performing nowhere near as well internationally as it is domestically.

for this to have any chance of even coming close to the likes of 2.5 billion it would need China to have a giant opening. 

the odds of it beating Avatar worldwide are virtually zero based on the opening last week or two in international markets. again, I'm talking worldwide totals

 

EXACTLY!!!!

This pretty much confirms why I still stand behind the fact that there is no way the original Star Wars outgrossed Titanic (sold more tickets) worldwide. It did more ONLY in the US/NA. Star Wars = $1.4 billion adjusted and Titanic $1.1 billion adjusted. The international numbers are a whole other thing.
