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.

 

It's going to cross $734m domestically today...900m domestically is the absolute minimum at this point.

Also not surprised they're expecting $5bn from merchandising..I was shopping yesterday and was in the Disney store, Primark, GAME, H&M and Poundland and ALL of them had large proportions of the store decorated to Star Wars merch. Disney store was like 1/3 Star Wars (as you'd expect), GAME was like 1/3 as well which is insane and Primark was probably 1/20 (still massive)
