Because the marketplace exploded. Now, absolute garbage can earn half a billion.

You're having a discussion about Star Wars. I'm having a discussion about global box office expansion and how it impacts the true phenoms of the industry. Jurassic World's billion is what I envision as worst case scenario for Star Wars 7.

Responses:

Sure, but that's just it. Jurassic World was an enormous hit. Yet it only made $1 billion overseas. -- (edited) - Inigo Nov 9, 11:46 2
- I'm not "expecting" anything. I'm discussing permutations. See below. - David Nov 9, 11:57 1
  - To be clear, by problems in China I'm thinking they'll have to deal with $150 million there instead of $250 million. -- (edited) - Inigo Nov 9, 12:02
Jurassic World's *billion* still leaves it about 1 billion short of Avatar. - Will Hunting Nov 9, 11:46 3
- You're preaching to the choir, but I'm slotting Star Wars at $550M domestic and $1.5B overseas. - David Nov 9, 11:54 2
  - I can get behind those #'2...which still leaves it a Passion of the Christ short overall. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 9, 11:56 1
    - Oh, I always expect Star Wars films to be shorts. - David Nov 9, 11:58
