For what is worth, Fast 9 grossed $116 million by the end of its second weekend (without counting July 4th long 4 days weekend). I believe NNTD will end its domestic run at $150 million.
Yes that's very likely but i'am hoping it will reach CR and QOS level. They grossed around $167-168 mil.
We will have to respectably agree to disagree on NTTD. The world would be a boring place if we all liked the same things I guess.
Same here. And for the music.
Once again, same here. The staff doesn't wait for the film to be over, they just enter the place shortly after the credits begin rolling and begin breaking one's concentration.
For Bond? Wow. That's really something. I didn't see anything like that in my viewings.
Regarding UK BO figures for NTTD......well i believe the film trade organisations such as Screen International probably keep daily records for films, but to access this info you would need a subscription, and its not cheap. As far as i know there are no free records of UK daily box office performance on the internet. Sites such as the BFI (British Film Institute), do publish a report each week on UK film box office, which is available on the internet, usually published mid-week. The latest BO figures from the UK then are for upto the end of last weekend the 10th Oct, so no daily weekday records since then (unless someone can find this info for free). Anyway the latest official figure for NTTD in the UK upto end of 10/10/21 is £52,694,547 (weekend gross was £15,235,947). Therefore last known official gross translated into US dollars would be around $72.1 million. I would hazard a guess that end of today Thursday the film would of passed $80 million.
Half recovered at best and even that assessment is open to debate!
No 2021 film has made close to a billion dollars. 2019 had nine films make over one billion dollars.

Only one 2021 US film has grossed over 500 million dollars. We're 10 months into 2021 and only F 9 has crossed 500 million ww.
No Time To Reshoot A Better Ending could hit 500 plus. We'll have to wait and see .
The box office may never recover to 2019 levels. This is why you're having actors like Brad Pitt, Clooney, Decaprio, Johnson, Hanks etc switching to streaming films. This rarely happened before coronavirus. If around half the cinema going demographic don't care about returning then cinema is in trouble so Eon's insistence Bond will remain a theatrical only experience may come back to haunt them! If NTTD fails to make over 500 million ww then Amazon may want Bond 26 as a streaming only release (with limited Imax screenings a few weeks after streaming day of release).
How mature of you.
Just a joke. 😊
That's good to know. The cinema was mostly bare both times I saw the film. Of course they were matinee shows.
Can we assume that NTTD will still be running in U.S. theaters come Thanksgiving? I'd be surprised if it is but certainly wouldn't shoot down the opportunity to see it once again around that time.
Thanks for that. Those are all fair points, I just know the pandemic keeps us in unprecedented times so I was curious if films are leaving quicker now that these blockbusters and other releases are heating up once again. It's tough to get a handle on what's likely, but you're right, will most likely have to do with the legs of its box office returns and how much money it keeps making.
Mind you, the biggest market in the world at present is China, some of their films have had truly massive weekend grosses!
I thought Bond (or Madeleine, at the very least) got a taste of Michael Myers at the beginning of the film. ;)
Yes.......i have read in the past that as a general rule of thumb, studios get 50% of box office gross back in the US, some 40% in International territories, and only 25% in China. The fixation with opening grosses, is that this is the time the studios get a better percentage of the grosses, as naturally as films play longer and receipts drop down, the cinema chains give back a lower percentage of the receipts back to the studio, otherwise it would be not economical for them to screen the film to a much smaller audience.
Most of us Americans do not understand the global box office market. Those that do understand that the domestic box office for a Bond film is going to be under 30% of the worldwide total. Spectre is the most recent outing and actually the domestic take for that film was only 22.7% of the total, which is somewhat concerning. The American market is more lucrative to the studio than the international market. For many tentpoles, it is actually more pronounced than stated above. For blockbuster type movies, the studios may force a sliding scale percentage on the theater owners and in the first week of release the studios take may be as high as 90%, sliding back over time to about 60%. Thus, an American ticket is substantially more valuable than a Chinese ticket. I do not know that this is the case for NTTD. Pandemic-era economics have likely sparked some unusual negotiations.
I continue to hold to my prediction of less than $200 million domestically, $55-75 million in China and a $700 million cume for NTTD. I want NTTD to do well domestically and overall, so I am hoping that the film has greater legs than I predict and a more successful China run than I suspect. China is a difficult market to predict. But we can hope.
There are some reports that NTTD has to do $800 million to break-even, given production and marketing costs. I am aware that MGM projected a $22 million profit for the film, which sounds paltry given the total receipts, but believable. One thing I am certain of: EON and Daniel Craig did just fine on this film financially.
NTTD grosses $4.19 million on Tuesday. Good hold.
Yep that was a decent gross for Wednesday not Tuesday......coz Wednesdays are always a weak BO day..........so another $4mil for Thursday will give us some $75mil, plus hopefully a $25 mil Friday-Sunday take, which will put Bond, very close to, or over the $100 mil mark........then we will have to see how well the film can do afterwards.
