Predicting The Next 10 Billion Dollar Movies

7. Star Wars: The Last Jedi

1297948

To put it simply, Star Wars is the biggest movie franchise on the planet. For 40 years, the series has inspired generations of fans and retained its place as one of the most popular and influential brands in all of pop culture.

The Force Awakens was nothing short of a phenomenon, bringing the franchise roaring back to the forefront of the public consciousness with a bang, becoming the highest-grossing movie in history at the domestic box office and only the third to ever earn over $2bn globally.

While it may not hit those kind of numbers given that The Force Awakens was the first live-action Star Wars movie in ten years and we are now getting one on an annual basis, The Last Jedi will nonetheless sail past the billion dollar mark at a canter, with at least $1.5bn looking like a foregone conclusion.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
