The Pearson correlation coefficient between box office and average reception is positive and relatively significant (>0.6) with audience scores being best at predicting box office success than media reviews.
In theory, chances are fairly high that an ideal, super well made Star Wars movie (~ 90 meta average on user + critics) received as well as IV or V would do $2500 - $3000M or more in the box office nowadays.
