re: Which makes more money at the box office: Episode VII or Avengers 2?

Avengers.

It's coming off a high, where the prequels left a bad taste in a lot of mouths, and I hear a lot of "meh" from fans on the Abrams choice.


Both will probably make so much money though that they may approach market saturation, making the discussion academic.

ETA: Actually, the more I look into comparibles, as long as Joss doesn't totally screw the pooch, it will be Avengers easily.

Star Wars Episode 3, which actually did get positive reviews got around HALF of what Avengers did.

Star Trek: Into Darkness, which is the second movie of a rebooted franchise that fans called what Abrams would do with Star Wars if he got the chance years before the Disney purchase actually made it possible, is around a quarter.

Its not a lock for Avengers, but I don't understand why some are statements of fanbases pushing SW over as if Marvel doesn't have a lot of fans built up with what they have been doing.
