My girlfriend’s vote goes for Pierce.

After almost a year to me NTTD stands as one of the most distinctive, exiting, moving and compelling entries of the series.

He deserves it. It will surely cross the $1.2B mark. In the US its legs are just insane: Maverick’s fifth weekend is the 3rd biggest ever behind only Titanic and Avatar. This incredibile success will boost M:I-7 performance a lot. With the help o…

Being Bond brings a massive amount of pressure for the actor. Imagine being the first black Bond. I don’t know how the audiences will react to that either. I’d like to have faith in humanity but there’s a lot of racism and with a black Bond there wo…

Domestic actuals are in and it dropped only a mesmerizing -29% for a $90M second weekend. It’s holding strong also internationally crossing the $550M mark worldwide. Cruise has never been so successful at the boxoffice since… the first Top Gun.
-
Maverick scored a US bigger second weekend than NWH. Best second weekend drop EVER (-32%) for a film that opened above 100M. Wild!

Thanks to inflation, Maverick and China, I’m pretty sure this one will be the first Cruise film to hit a billion. Unless Top Gun will make it first. It’s possible.
-
I think Maverick is VERY well done but I’m sorry… it’s a film that doesn’t stand on its own. It feels like an artificial clone of the first one with an emotional grip that is completely based upon the original one. The first one was more genuine, th…

It will likely hit $500M worldwide by Sunday.
-
The first one is still better IMO. I didn’t connect emotionally, unfortunately. The last 35 mins are fire tho.

Well at least he never raped any girl… unlike Bond… XD
-
Well we should thank European audiences then. EoN must find a balance between keeping the release of a Bond film an event without forcing themselves into too much longer hiatus between chapters, especially since they already confirmed that the ne…

NTTD in the US grossed only $30M more than in the UK. That’s ridiculously bad. It’s clearly not only about younger audiences not caring about the character in the States. Going forward they need to improve their performance in the US because like it…
-
Guys the point is that Bond must be stronger within the US market in the future. Adjusting for inflation DAD obliterates all Craig films with the only exception of SF. That speaks volumes. NTTD’s US performance has been the only disappointing one i…
-
On its first 4 days Maverick in the US almost topped NTTD’s entire gross. Bond must find a way to make the US audiences interested again, especially the young.
-
Fun fact: both Rogue Nation and Fallout are out of Tom’s top 10 highest grossing films in the US adjusting for inflation, falling behind Interview with the Vampire. I bet Dead Reckoning will be able to at least best Ghost Protocol at #9.

So after a couple of weeks literally no one picked up this story.
-
McQuarry is a great action director but let’s not forget that what makes the M:I’s action so wonderful is Tom doing all his stuff without any stuntman, and there’s only one Tom Cruise.
-
This trailer is basically a nod to the Bond saga.
-
Random thought: if it wasn't for Cruise running and jumping around that could’have easily been a JB film trailer. It feels like SP meets the Mummy starring the Ethan Hunt family.

The cool thing about the Rome “race” in SP was that Rome felt like an ancient metaphysical city with two hypercar in it. In this one it is just regular Rome by day with likely all the Italian cliches into place, but it will be a more thrilling sc…
-
In a lot of ways it looks more like a JB film than a M:I film. Without the European flavor, the style, the legacy and all the things that make Bond cooler than Hunt/Cruise. Hopefully the action will be top notch like always. It’s gonna be fun that’s…

It looks like the usual goofy bigger than life final chapter. Not impressed.
