$ 4,600,000 --> IMAX and other screens on Thursday Nov. 8th (confirmed)
$30,800,000 --> Friday Nov. 9th (confirmed)
$36,700,000 --> Saturday Nov. 10th (my prediction)
$25,500,000 --> Sunday Nov. 11th (my prediction)
$93,000,000 --> Opening weekend 'Skyfall' (my prediction)
$97,600,000 --> US gross 'Skyfall' since Thursday (my prediction)
If I'm right, but even if 'Skyfall' ends in the very high $80 million opening weekend, then 'Skyfall' is still on its way to catch the $900 million worldwide gross.
If the trends are right, then 'Skyfall' will pass all previous individual worldwide grosses for each individual Bond film, including 'Die Another Day', excluding 'Casino Royale' and 'Quantum Of Solace'. The worldwide gross for 'Die Another Day' was $431,971,116
$500 million + by Monday is a given but with so few markets left to open, it's going to take some magic to get us to $900 million.
I want to feel as if everyone is getting behind this film as much as possible!
Nah, I think it's not depressing :-). We are both realists...though one of us is a better realist ;-).
Thanks GL. Didnt look properly! Just got back from my 3rd viewing of SF so still hyped!
When estimates are at $80 million + and the people making said estimates have been doing it for years, it's not pessimism when saying it's not going to earn $93 million.
Would you say the same if someone said it would earn $100 million over the weekend?
There's hyping things up and there's being delusional. No point wishing for something that's just not going to happen. $88 million is by no means "below astronomical".
And I still say with so few markets left to open, it's going to take some magic to get us to $900 million.
It'll top $750 million, maybe $800 million but it won't have the legs to go that far. It's not magic, it what happens the longer a film is out - less people go to watch it.
$87M according to Deadline.
$87 million is a great result. Now, I'll hold my tongue. $20 million up on the last film.
I don't find that.
It's in their headline.
without taking into account the Imax pre release $4.6M.
I think it's safe to say Skyfall's box office in the US will be around $90M.
Now lets get the 500 Mill. ;)
BoxOfficeMojo has up the same numbers... pretty much between $87 - $90 million... which is a big opening for Bond here in the states...
the IMAX showing i went to on friday was all but maybe 10 or 20 filled to capacity - and the showing directly after ours was sold out - there were people in line waiting for the theater to be cleared out and cleaned before they could go in...
The film skewed older, with 75 percent of the audience over age 25. Males made up 60 percent of those buying tickets.
Yesterday, the predictions where around 80 million when Saturday and Sunday were not coming in yet. Today it's 87.8 million when Sunday still needs to fully start in the USA. Having said that: On Monday the official numbers come in...and those numbers will pass the 90 million Dollar mark.

International numbers are still to come.
I'm actually pleased with that. Kids may appreciate a different type of films today but in under ten years their taste might have shifted to more grown-up films. If I were a Bond filmmaker, I'd want my audience to like the film from 25 onwards, not until it has turned 25. ;-) DAD may have been aiming a bit in the wrong direction. ;-)
Which is good news, as far as I'm concerned. lol
Wait a sec Samuel001! The numbers are being adjusted as we speak. Friday estimates were $30.8 million. Now adjusted to $31.7 million. Same goes for Saturday and Sunday. Just wait correcting your sheet until Monday afternoon USA time....
Moreover, the figures outside USA have been updated now as well. As expected, 'Skyfall' is now officially past the $500 million mark. Which is truly...Thunderball-esque:
Domestic: $90,000,000 17.4%
+ Foreign: $428,600,000 82.6%
= Worldwide: $518,600,000
