    We had footage in both the SF and the SP teasers/trailers/TV spots that wasn't in the final film, so you'd obviously expect there to be deleted scenes upon the home video release. Alas, that hasn't seemed the case for a while now, unfortunately.

    SP surpasses SKYFALL total gross in Japan over the weekend

    Not surprising. The Japanese have great taste.

    Yeah but SF was 48th whereas MI:GP was the top grosser in Japan in 2012. How is that great taste?

    I was being flippant.

    A BluRay disc can carry more GB of data compared to a DVD disc. Having said so, "Casino Royale" is still the only film of which the "Deluxe Edition" had two BluRay disc's: One for the film and commentary tracks and deleted scenes. And one for loads of special features, including documentaries, trailers, videoclips and behind the scenes blogs. The documentary was actually quite nice. It dealt with Fleming's novel "Casino Royale" and how long it took (decades) to properly adapt it into an official Bond entry.

    Then again, I think the single BluRay disc's of "Skyfall" and "Quantum Of Solace" featured extensive behind the scenes production blogs. And before people Starr complaining about those......I really liked them. They also had extended commentary tracks.

    Some other weird kind of fetishes of mine is looking at the actual menu layouts ;-). I remember that the disc menu's from "CR: Deluxe" and "CR: collector's Edition" were completely different. Then some years later the film got the Ultimate Edition menu layout treatment.

    SP is losing 91 theatres in N.America this coming weekend. Will be playing at only 288 sites now, so you better go and see film soon, before it disappears.

    It will also not appear on BluRay and DVD. I just received the bad news. And on top of that, the entire film will be deleted from existence. It won't appear on digital format either. Also, police will run down the globe to make sure that ALL illegal copies will be removed. "SPECTRE" will be lost. Completely.

    $265,000 over the weekend in the US, bringing the total to just under 199m at $198,924,613. There's virtually no chance of crossing 200m now. No way it's going to hang on at this rate for another month, as much as I'd like it to.

    No word on international numbers yet for the past week/weekend but we should be roughly around 875m globally.

    I think it's one of the greatest chases put to film. The money shot for me is below. Don't mess with Bond:

    Late reply..but I agree. I fucking love the QoS PTS. You can hate the movie all you want but IMHO that's the best chase in 007 franchise.

    How much to movies usually make from DVDs/BluRays?

    It seems like SPECTRE may not even pass 900m dollars.

    And the moneygrabbing sony will think it's a flop..damnit they don't know how to market a movie..it's like "OMG HERE ARE ALL TRAILERS AND TV SPOTS!!" is not a good marketing strategy...who would have guessed......

    At this rate, SP definitely won't pass $900 million, but still, it's hard to scoff at making over $850 million. Just because SF had great timing on its side to net $1.2 billion doesn't mean that each and every subsequent Bond release will do the same, and I think it was foolish to assume this from the get go.

    One year ago, Sony projected 200 million in North America and 500 million overseas and it has made 199 million in North America and 675 million overseas, so SP has actually overperformed. Looking at CR and SF box office, SP should close its theatrical run with 199.8 million in US and Canada, so it still has a chance to get 200 million, if Sony do its best.

    What on earth are you talking about? It's only a million dollars. After 11 weeks, SF did another 3+ million. SP can easily get 1.1 more. FYI, it's at $875,724,613 worldwide. 880 is about right in total.

    Umm.......i believe its the MLK weekend in N.America, and after Monday's take, SP should be around $198.9 mil.
    It will, if possible be difficult for SP to get that last $1.1 mil, as the films takings are dropping off quite a bit now, and are actually lower than the daily grosses for 'The Martian'.
    I do think Sony will try to keep the film in the theaters as long as possible, just to get to that $200 mil mark though.

    SF was also playing at 823 theaters at this point in 2013, compared to SP which is playing at 288. SF at this point in 2013 was raking in just under 1 million to a weekend, where as SP is pulling in 1/4th of that.

    Every single weekend since the second weekend of release, the ratio between SF and SP's intake has increased, but even if that magically stops, and SP manages to maintain the same ratio with SF, earning roughly 1/4th the amount for the remainder of the theater run, we can expect another 750k for SP, bringing us to about about 199.6m.

    As mepal1 pointed out, it's possible, but will be very difficult to reach the 200m.

    SP is certainly coming to the end of its BO earnings now in theaters.

    In the last WEEK film earned just $3.2 mil Internationally.

    Finishing around $880 mil Worldwide looks most likely now.

    Loosing out on France after a very successful weekend probably did cost 10 mill.
    So it has close to 900 mill which makes it only the second 2D film reaching over 800 mill.
    Pretty great, even more so considering the mixed reviews.

    Plus the lesser exchange rates. How much is this in SF money?

    Yes, that's true, i have just read elsewhere where someone commented that the terror attack in Paris at the time SP was opening really killed the film in that market, as SP's performance in France is quite a long way off Skyfall's BO total.

    Mind you in the rest of Northern Europe, SP did very well indeed. In the Netherlands for example SP was top film of 2015 with over 2 million admissions. Not bad considering country has a total population of 17 million.

    Have you read my two articles? There's always a difference between the box office predictions movie companies inform about to the media, and the actual box office predictions from movie companies that are mostly top secret.

    Looking at the budget, Sony was clearly expecting another $1 Billion + movie.

    Sony leaks, you can read an abstract here:

    http://www.007magazine.co.uk/bond24/secrets_of_spectre1.htm
    In truth, even were it to be released earlier, SPECTRE could probably not hope to match Skyfall’s box office success, although given the intrigue factor surrounding the return of SPECTRE and the possible return of Blofeld the film has a decent chance of reaching the magic $1billion mark. Even if it does not, it is worth bearing in mind that any gross in excess of $600 million would ensure the film surpassed the box office tallies of Craig’s first two Bond films. Revealingly, Sony, in November 2014, set a target for the film of a $200 million gross in the US and $500 million internationally, a tally which looks well within the film’s reach.
