From the BBC:
Yet the year ahead is looking a far more promising proposition, spearheaded by the return of three blockbuster properties that are confidently expected to shatter existing box office records.
April brings Avengers: Age of Ultron, a second opportunity for Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and the Incredible Hulk to team up and do their bit for Marvel and Disney's respective bottom lines.
October, meanwhile, will see Daniel Craig tackle Spectre in the 24th official James Bond film, the script for which recently fell foul of the orchestrated cyber attack against entertainment giant Sony.
As enticing as these movies are, however, they will merely be keeping cinema seats warm for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, JJ Abrams' feverishly anticipated continuation of George Lucas's space saga.
Arriving in cinemas a week before Christmas, the seventh entry in the science-fiction series will likely leave every other 2015 title more dead than a frozen Tauntaun and the entire population of Alderaan.
Currently standing directly in the path of this celluloid juggernaut is a certain Tom Cruise, whose fifth Mission: Impossible film is set to make its debut in cinemas precisely seven days later.
Cruise was recently spotted in London jumping out of the path of a double decker bus, something Paramount could emulate by moving Christopher McQuarrie's sequel to a less daunting release date.
DAM STRAIGHT.
