2015 has been a very good year for film, if you ask me. What's more, cinema has really come into it's own this year after a pretty baron year in 2014. This year, we have had 4 films breach the $1 Billion mark in Jurassic World, Furious 7, Minions and Avengers: Age of Ultron. On the back of that, those 4 films now settle into the top 10 selling movies of all time, in relation to worldwide gross.
For me though, Jurassic World and Furious 7 outdid themselves and I would even go so far as to say that they were sleeper hits. I, for one, never expected Jurassic World to be the 3rd most successful movie of all time. The same goes for Furious 7. They were good movies but you can't help but feel that Furious 7 was "helped" by the death of Paul Walker and, perhaps, would not have did so well had be been alive to see the premiere.
But there can be no doubt that Star Wars is the most hyped movie of this year. The hype surrounding it has been "out of this world"... And as we get closer to the release date now, the social media campaign and advertising machine is kicking into high gear. Look left and look right and you will undoubtedly find something to do with Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The budget for the movie was around $200 Million but you would be a fool o say that it wont be way above and beyond that mark.
So, my question to you is just how well will Star Wars do? If you adjust for inflation, Star Wars: A New Hope was the most successful movie ever. It is my opinion that this movie will head straight to the top of the 2015 grossing list. But how well will it do on the all time list is anyone's guess.
