Will Star Wars: Episode VII break all records?
or will it just do really well, but not break any new ground in film-making or BO like the Original Trilogy did?
i really don't know, but leaning towards slightly > $400mil. (domestic)

I don't think so, unless it's really, really good and manages to exceed all expectations. It could happen, but I doubt it. Somewhere above $300 million seems certain though.

Yeah, it'll make more money than any of us can imagine, they'll be riding high. I don't know if it'll be come the new #1, but it'll be in the top 10 or maybe even the top 5.

Depends on the quality. If it delivers, it will do $600m with ease, if it doesn't, it will do $400m. Globally it'll crack $1b regardless.

Phantom Menace made $430 mil on it's initial run, and another $43 mil on the 3D re-release. I totally forgot it got a re-release too.

ROTS made 480m adjusted (TPM is 700+ but I'm not sure that's the best comparison) you add in 3D, Imax, international growth...and that this should be a much better film... it should go much higher. I'd say 600ish would be a safe bet, possibly 700m if the movie turns out great. Disney's got a year to turn the brand around back to where it was mid-90's leading up to the prequels. On the other hand, we've had a generation of growth since than, and the cartoons have kept the brand going for the younglings...

Thank God you can buy tickets online now so we don't have to deal with idiots lining up months in advance.

I think the best way to gauge how much it will make is to compare it to the last Star Wars movie released in theaters. Going by those number I can comfortably predict that this will make roughly $35 million total.
