    Pity EW knows nothing about the box office. Box office mojo and box office guru are the most reliable and best at predicting US box office.

    It's generally accepted that Domestic means US and International means ROW. I'm a Brit.

    Dude. I am Dutch. I am from a country that ruled the waves before Brittannia did. And 'international' does NOT mean 'rest of the world, except US'. Really, I haven't heard such a load of bull in years :-).

    Err well in terms of Hollywood cinema, which includes Bond, it does. I mentioned I was Brit because I didn't want people jumping down my throat thinking I was some stuck up American. Don't patronise me, the Brits would turn your arseholes inside out and slap you sideways.

    Will that be the same Box Office Mojo that predicted that Skyfall would not make as much money as QoS a few weeks ago?

    Every now and then, a tough discussion between Brits and the Dutch really make my day ;-). By the way...slapping me sideways :-P?

    When was this? As far as i know Box office mojo has always predicted at least a 10 percent increase in Skyfall US box office potential mainly due to inflation and a 4 year gap between films.

    BOM has said it predicts $185 million in the US vs $168 million for the other films.

    That's more money, not less.

    We really need to close down one of these threads. Having two is a little confusing.

    More money: Yes. With inflation adjustment: Certainly not.

    RIDAY 11 AM UPDATE: “We are off to an amazing start,” Sony tells me as Skyfall begins its roll out in North America. It did $2.2 million in Thursday previews that were exclusive to 463 IMAX and Premium Large Format theaters. And beginning with midnight shows that started today, it did $2.4 million for a combined total of $4.6 million. Already, my sources say early matinees are “through the roof”, including exceptional performance from IMAX theaters that are now running with their regular schedule. Stay tuned right here for my continuous updates today and all weekend with domestic box office numbers.

    $168 million from 2008 with inflation adjustment equals $180 million in today's money.

    $185 million is still more.

    I wasn't talking about that prediction, I was referring to something it said before that. But to be fair it did say 'might'...

    http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=3337&p=s.htm

    "Skyfall (Nov. 9): The first two Daniel Craig James Bond movies are the highest-grossing ones ever with $167.4 million and $168.4 million, respectively… This might not reach the same levels as Craig's other entries, but it is still guaranteed to be a late year hit."

    I'd say:

    $ 4,600,000 --> IMAX and other screens on Thursday Nov. 8th (confirmed)
    $30,800,000 --> Friday Nov. 9th (confirmed)
    $36,700,000 --> Saturday Nov. 10th (my prediction)
    $25,500,000 --> Sunday Nov. 11th (my prediction)
    $93,000,000 --> Opening weekend 'Skyfall' (my prediction)
    $97,600,000 --> US gross 'Skyfall' since Thursday (my prediction)

    If I'm right, but even if 'Skyfall' ends in the very high $80 million opening weekend, then 'Skyfall' is still on its way to catch the $900 million worldwide gross.

    If the trends are right, then 'Skyfall' will pass all previous individual worldwide grosses for each individual Bond film, including 'Die Another Day', excluding 'Casino Royale' and 'Quantum Of Solace'. The worldwide gross for 'Die Another Day' was $431,971,116

    Gustav you might be right, i have my fingers crossed ... going on sunday again with my dad and brother-in-law to boost the bo here in Canada. I predicted 800 mil hope it goes to 900 mil as you have suggested. If so it will be greate knowing that there is no celing for bond movies!

    I agree @thelivingroyale I'm putting it out there now, there is absolutely no way Skyfall will gross £900m anyone thinking that is living in cloud cuckoo land.

    RC7, are you ready yet to live in cloud cuckoo land?

    Gustav, you must be congratulated for making this thread and your prediction that looks more likely to happen now than not.

    i believe now that sky fall will make over $900 mil as i underestimated OS markets as they have not had a bond in 4 years as well as there being no super blockbuster film since DKR. This has lead to huge demand for a big blockbuster with actions scenes i mean Taken 2 has made nearly $350 mil and it is a much less well know film and it is awful lol.

    According to the stats in 007james.com:

    Pierce Brosnan's movies had a profit of: 2,043,751,904, inflation adjusted.

    So, counting Skyfall's box office until now ( 518 million dollars) with the other two Craig Bond movies, according to my calculations ( which may be wrong, I never was very good at maths):

    Craig's movies have grossed a total of 2,654,443,720 billion dollars.

    That means that Craig is already the third most successful Bond, in terms of profit, behind Connery and Moore.

    Imagine if the next two Craig movies are as successfull as his previous ones. He might overtake Moore in terms of profit!

    thelion what are you talking about i'm confused? Craig's movies have made so far about $1.7 billion ww and they cost at least a combined $500 million to make so that about $1.2 billion profit still impressive but not quiet $2.6 billion?

    Like I've said, my maths is terrible. I might be wrong.

    Must be wrong the last two bonds before Skyfall would have had to of made at least a billion ww each and they both made close to $600 million so it's not possible does this site not take into account production budget of films lol?
