Btw, Skyfall is racing in France to be the first Yearly #1 Bond ever here (even GF and TB had to be "only" #2 and #3 behind Louis de Funes at that time...). It still has some legs to beat Ice Age 4, and then there's the Hobbit. The current status…

doubleoego wrote: Yes but by that time, it was an issue of the series' restoration of credibility. Yes indeed, for franchise, BO is very short term compared to the long term handling. Funnily enough, Brosnan's fist Bond was #2 behind a #1 mov…

JimThompson45 wrote: Really? Well Lazenby is said to have been #1 in the UK, but you only read this in fandom writings it seems, that keeps on quoting a Bond companion book. Another #1 for the same year one can find elsewhere is... Carry On…

doubleoego wrote: In as much as I 100% agree with you on this, still, BO takings can't and shouldn't be completely ignored. I think the majority here is happy that after DAD broke BO records, the producers didn't hurry to make DAD II.

doubleoego wrote: Still amazing that the Non-US audiences make more and more the BO for movies than the so-called domestic market. Well, the dollar is currently on a long down trend with respect to many other currencies. I gave the example ab…

On second thoughts (and it was a kind of "ah ah" moment...), there is a major point against SF in China : if it is released at a same time than the Hobbit, it will be a non-3D release at the same time as a 3D release. And Chinese moviegoers love 3D …

LeChiffre wrote: IF Skyfall does badly in China then Bond 24 should feature a Chinese villain to really p..s them off! Well, Shangai and Macau are parts of China, and Bond faces quite a few baddies other there. Even the somehow only "good" ch…

In China, TDKR has done 56M$ and is over, Taken 2 has done 19M$ and is over, Bourne Legacy has done 34M$ and may end at 36M$ by a rough guess. Is it the billion target that makes you so excited that you write for instance that Hancock did 15100 $ i…

More hints for China (18 November data) : without any competition when it was released (Twilight is a big no in China it seems, they're just releasing the previous one and it did less than 10M$..), The Bourne Legacy is doing at the moment 34M$ in 4w…

Germanlady wrote: If CR made 27 mill, 35 mill MIGHT be possible, but we shouldn*t bet too much on China. CR made 18 M$ in Japan, not 27M$, as you can check in Box Office Mojo for instance. But it indeed made 2 billion yens. The author of H…

Box office comparison is a form of art, anyway. Just look at the MI6 front page, explaining how Skyfall being #2 behind Twilight #1 this week is actually something which hides the opposite ! It looks like doing subtle computations is ok when i…
