Well inflation does muddy the waters but make no mistake MCU is a huge deal across the planet whereas Star Wars can’t break into the Chinese box office. Infinity War is a massive success all over the planet. It’s just a better product. Star Wars doesn’t have Thanos.
It isn’t done yet and it blows the TFA out of the water in terms of quality. MCU has never been better while you have civil war in the states over Star Wars. I don’t agree with the that but it is going to hurt the overall franchise somewhat. I personally loved the Last Jedi but Star Wars fans are sensitive.
Well, The Force Awakens will still probably beat Infinity War at the box office, and Solo absolutely destroyed Black Panther in pre-ticket sales, so I think Star Wars is fine.

Infinity War probably isn't going to out earn TFA. That said, it definitely shows which franchise is stronger than the other among the fanbase. Note to the wise.

Oh it’s fine and will be the number 2 but it isn’t the lion it once was. I believe Infinity War will probably edge out of the Force Awakens at the end but for me as long as the franchises I love do well and continue I’m golden especially when the quality is there.
I also don’t see Solo making as much as Black Panther in the long run. I personally didn’t enjoy Black Panther that much tbh. I also never gave one shit about Han Solo but will see this just with nowhere near the excitement I have for the newer trilogy.

I'd say that the MCU could be labelled as this generations Star Wars, but since the sequel trilogy is coming out right now there's no need to 'dethrone' anything. Both are cultural landmarks existing concurrently atm.
It's pretty telling how big star wars is that a reboot throwing away the original work's ending can match the well made culmination of ten years of character focused films following a clear, unwavering vision.
OFC, MCU will remain the big boy because of how many more movies it makes.
