  • Have noticed that BOXOFFICE.com have revised down their BO total for SF down to $1108 mil (same figure as other sources). Someone at that site obviously made a bit of an error!
  • Latest figures published show 'SF' has now reached a whopping $1,115,019,456 worldwide. We may not know for a while what the final figure for the film will be, but when all the tiny final sums of money have been added up, it could add upto the fi…
  • ...its difficult at the moment to judge SF's individual BO tallies in some countries as the exchange rates have been fluctuating quite a lot lately. Ive noticed that for example the BO figure in the UK for SF has been rounded down a bit in the last…

  • Well just been doing some checking, and it appears the international gross does include this weekend in China:- figures given:- SF int total $791.5 mil film made $6.7 mil in Int markets this weekend, of which $6.1 mil was from China (seems …

  • I do remember in an interview that Forster said that he made the film deliberately 'confusing'. Well he certainly did..............but he did it to a point where he made the film almost unwatchable in parts. He obviously didnt take into account, …
  • Yes......... the Dutch have always been big Bond fans, and so have most of the North Western European nations!
  • I enjoyed PB as Bond...it's just unfortunate for him he wasnt given the scripts he deserved to fully flesh out his acting abilities in the part of Bond.

  • Just as i was thinking things were getting sensible here..........someone has again made a headline that 'SF' has overtaken 'TB'..............yet reading the article, it was no more than an update to the weekly BO of the film, and there was absolute…

  • LATEST BO UPDATE As of Thursday 'SF' had grossed an estimated $44.7 mil in China. Therefore, by my reckoning, and excluding other markets 'SF' must be somewhere around the $1090 mil mark...........that is a shed load of money! ..........and…
  • i'am not so sure how this event would go....even if they all did turn up..........i mean Lazenby and Brosnan aint exactly bosom pals are they?
