I would absolutely love to get a look at the financials when it comes to what studio films make at the box office versus what they bring home in licensing. For many I'm sure there isn't all that much that comes from licensing, but when you get into today's big franchise features the story begins to shift and perhaps the largest of all-time is Star Wars. George Lucas created a merchandising empire with his sci-fi series and it is now in the hands of the only successor able to carry on as if nothing has changed, Disney. Word out of Entertainment Weekly is that Disney is already prepping a new book series titled "Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens", which will bridge the gap between Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi and the forthcoming Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens, leading up to the film's December 18 release.
