One thing that is still a problem for Hollywood studios.............is that the box office returns to the studio, are much lower in China than they are in other markets. A studio only gets around 25% of the Chinese BO gross returned to them, unlike…

Well Hardy could be good in a Bond film...but i hope he doesnt wear a bloody face mask like he did in the Bat flick.................coz i couldnt understand a bleedin word he said!

I personally was quite relieved that the soundtrack for 'SF' was actually pretty good..... ...i had feared that we could of ended up with a 'out of touch' soundtrack, that has happened in the past to other Bond films, most notably the totally abysm…

Yes........i would love to see 'Blofeld' make a comeback. I mean Blofeld is to Bond, as is Moriaty to Sherlock Holmes. .......so far, i personally think 'Telly Savalas' as Blofeld has been the best portrayal of the character on film. 'Donald …

Stamper......i thought was a pretty good henchman! Anyway, as i started this thread, and voted for 'Elvis'.....I therefore declare myself and anyone else who voted for 'Elvis' as the winning suggestion!.......haha 'Elvis'..........god give me …

QOS did have some very good moments, though far too brief.........it was a shame that Marc Forster, as he has stated, deliberatley wanted to confuse people. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.......................people complained of headaches and nausea watching…

AVTAK, DAD, QOS AVTAK = Moore was far too old, and thus he was not believable in the role DAD = First half of film was ok, but then it went a bit pear shaped QOS = an unbelievably bad film, next to nothing story, little character developmen…

I think Australia or South Africa would be good choices. If not, how about 'The Isle of Wight'.......... :))

Yes very true Gustav_Graves.....best to compare like with like....... Its quite an achievement for a modern Bond film to reach $1 BIL. I'am sure there are many members here, who only a few years ago would hope that one day Bond would do Harry …

Well......looking through the box-office sources again, and other media reports relating to the adjusted BO figures for the Bond films, i can say this:- If you take the most recent reports, (as you have to to get the correct inflation figures), t…

Yes................the $1023 million figure should be correct, as International BO figures are added to the totals on Sundays! Samuel001 said "Yeah, it's real. In the next two weeks Thunderball will be number two. China will help us beat Batma…

Good to see not all here are into the herd mentality! Thanks

The thing is i agree with 'Suivez_ce_parachute'. As a recently joined new member i was hoping for some friendly James Bond discussion......but alas this seems to be a 'Skyfall fanboys club', When i commented that there were alternative box offic…

"The one thing that I can say with a fair degree of certainty: More people paid to go see Thunderball than any other Bond film. The only film close is Goldfinger. Skyfall despite all the boasting and chest pounding at the box office results is a dis…

Anyone else here noticed that in BOmojo's foreign section, for some reason they do not include 'Switzerland' ?..........even though they include figures for some miniscule markets! Anyway 'SF' has so far taken about $20,000,000 in Switzerland. …
