This year has already seen three movies crack the top 20 list of highest-grossing movies of all time: Furious 7, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Jurassic World. The final movie in a series usually performs very strongly, so there’s a decent chance The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 will crack the top 20, too.
But what about The Force Awakens? Well, an analyst at Morgan Stanley (they analyze box office stuff?!) just revised his estimates 22%, and now claims that The Force Awakens will make $650 million domestically and $1.3 billion worldwide, for a $1.95 billion total haul.
What do YOU think? Could it top $2 billion? Could it topple the #1 movie, Avatar, at $2.7 billion and change? Let us know in the comments!
