  • Spielberg is a genius like cameron in knowing what the general public like in that Jaws, E.T and Jurassic park where the highest grossing movies ever at various different points. Has Spielberg ever done a 3d film thou just wondering his most recent …

  • Yh thanks for that just a mis read no need to be so rude. Did seem a little strange to me that he would finish his career at 42 lol. I'm hoping he does the Justice league movie otherwise i can see that being god awful and a Avengers cash in.
  • Man of steel is one of the most anticipated movies of the summer so can't see it flopping tbh.
  • It would be hard to fit in with all that power and would the earth really except an all powerful alien we would flip the world would go mad if an all powerful alien appeared so i think it's quiet a good idea IMO.
  • Did someone say Nolan is done are you crazy he is the 2nd most powerful director in hollywood behind a certain someone. After the success of the dark knight trilogy and Inception he is one of the few directors that can do what he likes at almost wh…
  • Going dark and emotional is how every franchise is going after TDK even Skyfall was very dark and emotional compared to other bonds. It's just a trend in current blockbusters to reinvent themselves in a darker and more realistic way. Maybe thats why…
  • No one factor can lead to a movie hitting a billion i can name a dozen reason why Skyfall hit a billion.
  • Record crowds what are they talking about maybe for a bond film nothing else Titanic 3d made over $30 mil more in it's opening week for the record in China? That report above is so wrong it's unreal.
  • Yh with inflation rates and market growth nothing stays in the top ten for years like it did upto fairly recently but still a massive achievement.
  • On Box office forums there still saying about $55 to 60 mil in China final gross does this mean after first week presumably films in China movies fall quickly? If there right it will fall just short of ROTK and Transformers 3.

  • Or shall we just agree that you can't really compare a film released in last few years to any released nearly 50 years ago lol?
  • Yes but Skyfall had to deal with maybe half a dozen big films release fairly soon after it was released and thats worse in a time when films only spend around 3 months in theatres if there lucky lol. Yh going to the cinema was a much bigger event ba…
  • Tbf to Skyfall films do not spend literally months on end in the cinema like they did in the 60s and far less films where released in the 60s compared to now. There was a lot of other films released particularly in America for skyfall to contend w…

  • Well tbf you can't compare a 1960s film to a modern one as inflation has gone up by huge amounts and most countries have had at least a third increase in population since then as well. TB was defo a more successful movie by some way relative to size…

  • Skyfall could make what it should in China maybe now e.g $80 mil as Qos made $20 mi four years ago and the Chinese market is 4 times bigger now so it should make $80 mil hopefully. Also it's been out in Shanghai and Bejing for two weeks so this will…
  • TASM is spiderman sorry. If it makes similar amount in China to TDRK it will pass TDKR w.w by about $10 mil or so let's hope it creeps over $1.1 billion. I was hoping for $80 mil in China so it could pass Return of the king and transformers 3 to be …
  • Latest reports say that Skyfall has made $14 mil in 3 days ahead of TDRK at the same point but behind TASM $50 mil in China looks likely so Skyfall may fall short of $1.1 billion w.w. Who send China is not a big market lol it's one of three biggest …
  • Yh not a flop will probably finish top 10 for the year in China at least problem is you could say it will hold well like it has in most other countries but it has poor word of mouth in China so it's unlikely.

  • Very few authors actually like the adaptions of there books to film until they see the dollar signs aka J.K Rowling lol.

  • true Skyfall does not really need success in Asian as it popularity was so much in America and western europe by themselves i mean between Us,Uk, Germany and France made more then Casino royale alone lol.
  • TDKR was an relatively letdown internationally across the board many feel compared to the huge hype leading up to its release showing superheros bar Avengers are not big players internationally while bond has always been huge in europe.
