If this movie is pushed hard enough and has the word of mouth they're anticipating, this movie has a real shot at inching over $2 billion. It's all but certain it won't pass Avatar. You can't stuff a film so full of characters or fanboy stuff to make it a phenomenon in the way Avatar was. Nobody could ever have predicted Avatar performing like that, the same way nobody could have predicted Titanic's BO record. Avengers, Harry Potter, LOTR - these are all blockbusters designed to make bank. Avatar was designed to recoup its $300-400 mill budget and hopefully make
some money because Cameron had already delivered so much coin to Fox.
