    According to EntertainmentWise, the Chinese release is being delayed until the New Year for some reason, so the final box office results are going to be even more staggered!

    Wow, who would have thought that GF was the one with the most tickets sold! I would assume TB when Bondmania exploded.
  • nobodydoesitbetternobodydoesitbetter

    Yes. I thought the same also when I was looking up the number of tickets sold. I would have also thought that TB would have sold at least more or near the number of tickets sold by GF. But there is quite a significent drop from GF - TB. I wonder if there was anything that caused this considering the Bondmania going on when TB opened. Maybe I need to do some research on this subject!...

    ‘Skyfall’ Crosses $100M At Domestic Box Office
    By THE DEADLINE TEAM | Tuesday November 13, 2012 @ 10:05am PSTTags: Box Office, Skyfall, Sony Pictures

    The Veterans Day holiday yesterday was good for $11.3 million more in North America, Sony said this morning. That puts the domestic total for Skyfall at $101.9 million after its big release this past weekend. The latest James Bond pic opened to $90 million during its opening frame here (adding in Thursday IMAX screenings) and amassed $89 million more overseas, bringing the global cume for the Sony/MGM/Eon production through Sunday to $518.6 million.

    GF was released in Paris 6 months after it was released in the UK. TB was released in Paris two weeks before the UK. And at that time the release in other cities happened well after Paris.

    Hence a significant shift of the impact of Bondmania on the attendance if you consider the peak of Bondmania somewhere between both UK release dates, or even close to TB's release :)

    TB's first weeks will actually do more than GF's in Paris. TB's 1st Paris week was the record at that time (for every movie, not only Bond). And TB's 2nd week... did more than the 1st. The true peak, I guess !

    It will reach 750.000 Paris entrances in 12 weeks, while GF needed 16 weeks for that. But the 'exceptional' period won't last as long. GF ended doing 900.000 in Paris, TB did 800.000.

    Oh yes, it means for chart aficonados that GF and TB were both released in France in 1965 and where then #2 and #3 of that year's box office.

    http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-office_France_1965

    A very complete French site that gives week by week box office of the 60's is here :

    http://www.boxofficestars.com/352-categorie-10492721.html (random page, explore it with next/previous) If you click Next enough times, you'll see "Our Man Flint" was #1 for two weeks in Paris later that year, the last sign of 'exceptional' Bondmania maybe !

    Also don't forget that your figures are total figures, there are also the re-run later, and the 70's and 80's re-release (but it's not enough to explain the large difference, obviously, but nevertheless, 120.000 persons did see GF in Paris in 1980 and 80.000 did in 1986... Also for instance in 69 they reported that YOLT did 3.3M while you list 4.5M total)

    Apparently Bond has made $ 7 mil in US on tuesday for a 5 day total of around $108 to $109 million dollars.

    do you guys think there is a celing for bond in North America that is below 200 mil? Just curious to see if the pic is front loaded or if the great word of mouth will propel the NA box office north of 200 mil. BTW, do we know what CR made inflation adjusted?

    Now, I believe it's possible to get 900 million. It Will depend on new releases in Australia , Japan and China.

    In China the censorship board only allows a certain number of foreign films to be released and if they are they may been censored in some ways. They also release films at very strange times. EarlIer in the year they release the dark knight rises and the amazing spiderman in the same weekend. There is a worry on box office forums that skyfall will be released on the same weekend in January as the Hobbit.

    What I mean is that this delay will make it very easy to obtain a pirated copy of Skyfall which is probably a heck of a lot cheaper than visiting the cinema. SO perhaps the BO results from China will stagger under a lesser attention than expected.

    Had they released SF like DAD later in our country, much of the visitors would have skipped the border to see it there so less of a BO when it opens in your country. There is only so much money that will be spend by people.

    Me being a 007 fan does mean I would visit the cinema to watch SF, even had Barbara herself passed me a copy of the movie before its release. Some movies look better at the big screen, therefor I have seen any 007 movie screened at a nearby cinema if I could.

    very suprised that LALD was so popular! I guess there was lots of anitcipation regarding RM's interpretation of bond!

    LALD was cleverly publicised when it came out. Tie in material (toys), TV spots pushing the (then) fantastic speed boat chase, a new Bond actor. all these were heavilly publicised. It got alot of exposure to help Moore along his way.
