Bats v. Supes has..

I never said Star Wars hype was very low, I said it was [B]at a low. The hype is still very high, but relative to other huge blockbusters, especially Avengers 2 and bats vs supes, it's weaker. Makes sense now?Also, the first two horrible prequels put a sizable damper on the box office of Revenge of Sith. RoS earned a meager 380 million worldwide. Those numbers can't compete with a box office Mammoth like Avengers or the first on-screen pairing of bats, supes and WW. [/B]
😕
RotS made 850 million WW way back in 2005 (350 is the domestic #)...

yea but the wrong actress is playing diana
She's gonna need to put on some weight and bulk up but so far I haven't seen her do that, I think it's a bit unfair that she hasn't been made to do that. There have been tonnes of actor's/actresses who have had to put their bodies through hell to look right for the part in movies yet she's done f*ck all 😬

I'd still consider that an under performance
It's hard today for Big Blockbusters to make over $800mill WW. Neither Thor 2, MOS, The Amazing Spider-Man, Captain America 2, or Days of Future Past have reached those heights in today's money. (Some not even close).
Add 9 years of inflation and 3D ticket prices and you'll realize despite the 2 previous "terrible movies" the Star Wars franchise can still pass the Billion Dollar WW mark (in today's dollar terms) quite easily. Add in the hype of the OT cast returning and... Anything is Possible. Especially when the last SW Live Action film was generally considered the best of the Prequels. (Actually has close to 80% on Rotten Tomatoes and over 7 in IMDB ratings IIRC).
Avengers imo.

IIRC Captain America 2 got a bit over $700mill

I'm guessing you haven't check out this comic

then there's also the two animated movies which are based on the 1st & 2nd story arcs

Yeah it was a huge hit and is at 710mill WW and about to stop making anymore. So no one can deny that even today hitting the $800mill WW mark is no easy task. So imagine 9 years ago and without 3d Ticket prices.
It's not close to the biggest grossing of all time or anything like that, but still a massive hit after what are generally considered the 2 worst SW movies.

Agreed.
I believe the Phantom Menace had higher sales? And Star Wars A New Hope is one of the best earning movies of all time with inflation taking into account.

Exactly. And with the full marketing power of Disney behind it I expect SW7 will be huge.

Good point. I still think the hype for Avengers and Batman v Superman is much greater, but with the right marketing Star Wars can potentially reach a billion. It's definitely possible.
