I came across an interesting infographic in Businessweek. The box office revenue projection for TFA is:
$734m domestic (USA and Canada)
$1,650m international
That makes the total estimate $2,384m (not enough to beat Avatar).
FYI, they also expect the following:
$500m from Disney Infinity 3.0
$780m from Star Wars Battlefront (which means about 13m copies)
$235 for TV licensing domestically (USA and Canada)
$214m for TV licensing internationally
$458m for DVD/streaming
$5,000m for merchandise
That brings the total projected revenue for TFA to $9.6b. Not bad for the first movie in the trilogy.
