The force is strong: New ‘Star Wars’ tops 2015 most-anticipated movie list

The upcoming installment of the “Star Wars” franchise tops moviegoers’ lists of most anticipated films of 2015, ticket seller Fandango said on Tuesday in what Hollywood watchers expect to be a banner box office year for studios. ”Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens” highlights a year of big-budget franchise releases that includes runner-up films “Avengers: Age of Ultron” and “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2.” Those films are expected to challenge 2013’s record year of about $11 billion in U.S. ticket sales. Other anticipated films include erotic thriller “Fifty Shades of Grey,” from Universal Pictures’ art house unit Focus Features, and “Jurassic World,” Universal’s resurrection of the “Jurassic Park” dinosaur disaster series.
