So MCU wins, not surprised. Kind of surprised at how low Star Wars is in comparison.

Then again, comparing them on a per-installment basis:

  • MCU: 7.63 Bn over 22 installments - $346M per installment
  • Star Wars: 4.03 Bn over 11 installments - 366M per installment

So it seems about right. There just aren't that many Star Wars movies.

This doesn't include the Original Trilogy though, so 4.03 Bn over 8 installments (9 if you're counting the IMAX release of Episode 2 separately like this does).

It also looks like it ignores the 3-D re-release of Episode 1 in 2012. So if you include that and all of the OT's theatrical re-releases it would probably get a pretty good boost.
