I'm pretty sure Bond has grossed a lot more than Star Wars. I wonder how profitable Star Wars will be after the 24th installment. I'm guessing not very.

You'd be wrong.

Imagine how much further ahead Star Wars will be after the 24th installment

I'm not even sure Star Wars is in the top 3.
And I think interest will wane after the current crop of movies being ~12 let alone 24. Its all character exploitation at this point, and there aren't many left who's lives haven't been explored yet.
