I don't repeat lines from films.
Tickets sold isn't really a fair metric either though. In 1950, if you wanted to see a movie, you had to go to the cinema. If a movie was huge, you could bet on several re-releases in the coming years/months. Neither is true now.
As for foreign grosses, I imagine that attendance is increasing in developing markets and decreasing in Europe and Australia (same as North America).

Avengers will best Star Wars worldwide by 350mi with a 25mi margin of error.
Avengers ceiling will be 1.8bi of which 700-750mi domestic.

Let me ask you a very simple question : How does USA measure tv ratings ?
They add the value of the ads ? It sounds dumb right ?
Cable subscriptions value ? It sounds dumb right ?
Or audience ?
The decline of tickets sold naturally is because of the advent of many other forms of entertainment. That's....life.
Adding dollars from china , russia , comparing each year , comparing movies with 3d vs without 3d , with rereleases vs 1 single run , animated movies with matinees vs normal movies....it doesn't make sense from an arithmetical point of view.
Movies are measured by box office gross because that's the reporting metric used by plays, concerts, etc. Movies branched out of live performances originally.

Whatever reason it is (i believe that might be it) , doesn't make it less wrong. Especially when you start to compare it.
Here all concerts are reported by tickets sold. And the boxoffice has gross and tickets. Which allows for some very interesting comparisons (same gross vs tickets for a normal movies vs 3d movie vs kids movie...people wouldn't believe how huge the difference is)

What are the odds that Age of Ultron nabs a 250+ opening weekend domestically?
Negligible
The opening weekend attendance record has changed little since Spider-man 1 in 2002. Spider-man's opening weekend adjusts to $160M in 2014 prices. Spider-man 3 and the Dark Knight both adjust to around $180M. It's debatable whether the Avengers actually sold more tickets weekend 1 than those two due to 3D premiums. So basically we have seen actual ticket sales records go up all of 12% in that timeframe. Avengers 2 would have to top that by another 20% to hit $250M. ticket prices have barely gone up these past 2 years.
Avatar made you stop going to the movies for 6 years? Yeah I think you might be the only one on that one.

Think I may have posted in the thread already since it's so old but Star Wars.
You let one film dictate your theater experience over the last 6 years? What does Avatar being horrible have to do with any other film?

They'll have to build more theaters just so more people people can see the avengers and avatar 2.

Disney wins.
I think AoU will make more money WW, and TFA will beat it slightly in domestic (but close). I think both movies will be equally awesome. I would definitely go see TFA before AoU if given the chance. I don't think any film will come close to challenging either at the boxoffice domestically or WW.

Quoting to redouble my efforts after today's trailer.
Avengers 2 has that sequel BO going on but Star Wars looks so much more exciting than AoU.

for the next starwars/avengers when you add spider man into the mix and maybe thanos i don't think you can topple Marvel in the future at all - it's a god.

The only answer is Avengers
This is the main reason I'm leaning SW. I think it'll be relatively close no matter what though.

Star Wars will win.

Avengers 2 will probably top Avatar in box office. I can feel it.
Avatar approached the $3 billion mark... I can't see anything touching that for awhile.

Avengers by $300 million.
Only Star Wars people care about Star Wars. Every action fan cares about Avengers.

Umm....
Spoiler:
everyone's a star wars fan ;-)
They also have Civil War 2016.
Honestly I have a hard time not seeing them have #1 & #2 grossing films, back to back years.

Age of Ultron will make more money.
Age of Ultron will be the better film.
It's going to be close though and will push each to #1 and #4 of the most grossing franchises respectively. Disney eating good this year.

Right now I'm much more interested to see if Civil War can beat the first Avengers
Spidey's introduced in it, very possible.

I am putting my account to a bet
Star Wars The Force Awakens will be the better movie and rake in the most money INTERNATIONALLY than Avengers: Age of Ultron
If Age of Ultron makes more money INTERNATIONALLY and gets a better Tomato score.. then you can ban me

I think Star Wars will be both the better film and the bigger money maker.
Hell, if JJ pulls this off (as it seems he will), I could see this movie break top 3 all-time box office.
Never underestimate the power of Star Wars OT nostalgia.
