IW would have to sell more tickets than Avengers WW to hit $1.5b. Yes there's O/S growth - particularly in Asia but the exchange rate in 2012 was highly favorable.
To put the Avengers O/S performance in perspective - CW did better O/S numbers in local currency even though Avengers did $150m more in dollars.
There's been so much overseas growth since then that a lot more tickets are definitely going to be sold. For eg China went from 86m - 240m from Avengers to AoU. The exchange rate between the US and China has stayed between 6 and 7 from 2012 to now, not in line with the exponential overseas growth that's taken place and on top of that sequels to franchises that take hold are king overseas.
