Expect “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” mania in full force this weekend. But the film – as huge as it will be – likely will be third in terms of the biggest box offices ever, says Goldman Sachs.

Hopes are high for the latest Star Wars movie – the first under the ownership of Walt Disney (DIS). Goldman is forecasting the film to haul in global box office dollars of $1.95 billion – including $750 million in the U.S. and $1.2 billion from international markets.

As huge as that expected box-office is – it would still put “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” No. 3 behind “Titanic’s” titanic $3.6 billion total global take, in inflation-adjusted dollars, and “Avatar” at $2.9 billion, according to Goldman Sachs citing data from Box Office Mojo.
