2015 was going to be one crowded year

Well I don't even want to think what the rates 3D and IMAX tix will have increased to again in another couple years? so on inflation alone he might not be so far off. Titanic made that money mostly off '97/'98 ticket prices.
 
I agree. I just imagine that AOU and WF will be more of a draw for the GA even though Episode 7 probably will break the bank too.
 
Star Wars 7 may go through the same thing that STID went through where people's predictions start exceeding what is actually likely? Of course it's gonna make a lot more than STID did.
 
I just know a lot of people who aren't into sci-fi, especially not Star Wars, but love cbms. I can't speak for everyone else in the GA, just mentioning what I have observed.
 
People also forget that Cameron can make his money off of the legs afforded him during the winter season.

They also forgot the films that Avengers faced post release(battleship/darkshadows..etc).
I don't think things will necessarily go the same way this time for them. Just saying.

I don't actually see that changing. Avengers faced weak competition by happenstance; Avengers 2 will almost certainly face weak competition by virtue of everyone sane avoiding a direct match-up.

There is only so much space that summer to hide, between the 4 big films seemingly announced how are away from avengers can you run before you are in the next big guy's wake. And next time, the battle ship film might not suck.

Trust me, studios are bold these days, they don't have all that much reservations about where to put their release dates. Just look at mid june this year.

I don't think so at all. I think one given the alternative people will want a little bit of difference to spice up the (every big blockbuster almost being a CBM). That and Star Wars is still the biggest franchise. The reason the "love" for it right now is low is because the PT did not do what the OT did and drove many away. I still think that Episode VII will make the most that year. If the film is good (the bar is really low right now) and if it is really good, the word of mouth of a positive Star Wars film mixed with the hype of the OT three returning, mixed with it just being Star Wars. I think it will bring a whole new generation to Star Wars and even some younger ones that never got into it like the generations around myself did.

The GA moves to whatever. In the 80's and 90's the GA loved Star Wars. But it may have waned some. I think it will actually be (if the film is good which I have a feeling from the crew involved it will be) a massive success. And an alternative to the never ending CBM movies. Not that I dislike them at all, but I think people may be gearing up for a change. And if you have a good Star Wars film it will grab people.
 
Some people are not open to giving it a chance. I know it will be very successful regardless, so we'll see.
 
I'm willing to bet big money on the Star Wars prequel haters going to see Episode VII.

Resist, they cannot.

$1,8 billion worldwide 15 years ago, without any help from 3D and IMAX, and with an international market that was much smaller than today. Titanic was the kind of phenomenon that we probably never will see again. Avatar did a good try, though. Just to try to understand how big Titanic was; with today's ticket prices it would have grossed over a billion in America alone and over three billion worldwide.

The people you are talking about are swayed by word of mouth and marketing. And what looks good. Right now what they are saying is the same many have said about a lot of CBM's as well.
 
About the title of this thread, every year is always crowded when it comes to film.

But I do think 2015 has the potential for earning the most money in a year.

Yeah but it's different from cbms to me. CBMS have more of a wider appeal while some people just aren't into things like Star Wars and Star Trek. Although, I know the former will make a lot more than the latter did. I think I'd get more people excited if I told them Superman/Batman and Avengers: Age of Ultron was coming in 2015 than Star Wars Episode 7 right now. I'll have to try it out. Of course that can change come 2014-15, but I'm talking about now.

Yeah even as a kid i vividly remember the Titanic phenomena and how it was common place for your classmates to see titanic at the theater every week for like 5 months straight.

Even Avatar at its peak didn't feel anywhere as big as titanic did.
 
^ I don't know what order but those 3 have a good chance of being the top 3. I think Superman/Batman may have the edge, since it's something that has never happened before. The two most popular, iconic characters EVER in 1 movie is going to be hard to beat.

At this point in time, I don't think so.

Lol, Star Wars will destroy everything that isn't James Cameron.
 
Yeah, why wouldn't they especially if the new films look better? So confusing.

I don't like the prequels and I'm looking forward to Episode 7.

Yeah, they will probably end up being the top 3 most profitable movies of 2015. Maybe Bond will be fourth.
