I agree with the spirit of your post, but the article suggests they've spent a billion on the 4 movies already. They only have one made, and it seems unlikely all 4 will ever come out.
They've been working on this for at least a decade, right? It's definitely plausible that they've spent over a billion by now.
It will be fascinating to see how well it does. I don't many people have really fond memories of the first movie. It was definitely a spectacle that brought a lot of people to the theater to experience it, but the story and characters weren't particularly memorable. Also, a lot of people have grown to hate 3d over the years since.
I'd guess this falls short of Top Gun domestically, but passes by it a bit world wide.
