Right now Avengers and Star Wars are guaranteed to hit the billion mark but I could see Jurassic World and Furious 7 getting there. Maybe an outside shot for Hunger Games since the preteens will come out to see it multiple times

There's like 5 MAJOR films coming out 6 weeks apart in Nov & Dec. There will be some competition for those dollars.

the first real star wars in 30 years should be a slam dunk, but I don't know if it can match the anticipation that surrounded the phantom menace. Never has a movie been hyped like that.

Someone will bomb due to the competition

I don't see 1 year supporting that many blockbusters.

Only two. Star Wars and Avengers. If I didn't think Jurassic World is going to suck, I would have made that the third.

I think only Star Wars and Avengers will hit that mark. A few others will probably make a lot of money but I doubt they hit a billion.

Age of Ultron has a good shot at something like $1.8 billion world wide, $800-900 million domestic.

The Avengers went $1.5 and $640.

Furious 7 will break lots and lots of records this weekend.

I don't think Jurassic World gets close to a one billion.

Jurassic world was exceedingly average in my opinion. I guess it appeals to the mega-blockbuster crowd which apparently is almost everyone.

Star Wars will likely set record again, and that record may not fall until avatar 2 finally comes out.

Spectre might which seems on surface unlikely, but as others already pointed out, skyfall did it.

The fact that mconougheys space movie didnt break billion implies to me that 'the martian' will not either.

Id bet on star wars and spectre out of everything left
