Nope, not even "Revenge of the Sith," with that great opening day start, did $1 Billion, thats how hard it is to attain that figure worldwide (Sith did $849 Million total, which is outstanding to say the least). I think Star Wars is the more popular franchise in America, but not worldwide as the foreign box office clearly shows that belongs to LOTR series. But if "Sith" couldn't do a billion, I don't think Pirates 2 will have the legs to do that amount worldwide either. Especially considering its a July release, and movie receipts decline in August.
I think the next billion dollar movie will be "The Incredibles 2."
