Indeed. How high can the bar be raised until it can no longer be topped?
Well I came out of Skyfall thinking, that was great but the best Bond ever is still yet to be made. Not that B.O. ever dictates quality.
You sure? It hasn't opened in a few other major territories (Australia etc.), it's been a month since its UK release and it's at number 2.
It may not do as well, but I think it may be a CR-QOS type slight drop. I think Bond has gained a lot of new fans with Skyfall.
Very true box office has little to do with quality look at the 13 movies that have made over a billion some are very bad movies e.g transformer 3, pirates 4 and the phantom menace are universally considered bad movies i also think alice wonderland is a bad movie.
I agree but you never know i think skyfall did similar to what TDK and the Avengers did by getting people who are not interested in that type of movie to see it in droves as you don't make $790 mil and rising by appealing to just the films core audience for example my dad hates bonds but he went because he heard so much about it and i also force him to go lol.
Always said a man who doesn't like Bond isn't a real man.
(I'm only joking, please don't hurt me
:( )
It opened in Australia this weekend. It's totals are included in the $790 million, which was $61 million. It's be less next week. The only big markets left are in Japan and China.
It can't not reach third place now.
Samuel i have read on box office forums that many believe that $1 billion plus is a good bet for Skyfall. As it may make $270 mil at least in the US and around $700 plus overseas so it may creep over the billion dollar mark. So number one all time is possible some are saying it could beat TDKR WW.
I'm sure Bond 24 will come close to Skyfall. By the time it's released ticket prices will be a few pence higher!
Besides a huge succesful Thanksgiving weekend for 'Skyfall', also internationally Bond 23 keeps soaring. Internationally (US excluded), 'Skyfall' now has passed 'The Dark Knight' and 'Inception'. And also 'The Dark Knight Rises' is now in danger to be taken over by 'Skyfall'.
Because of all this, 'Skyfall' moves up to 4th place in my list and is now seriously threatening 'Inception'. And please keep in mind, figures for Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Japan and China still need to come in. $900 million is a lock now. *UPDATED SUNDAY NOVEMBER 25TH 2012*:

Also Sony after seeing Skyfalls box office result will want to make even more money so may unfortunately push for it to be in 3d.
I think/hope they are sensible enough to avoid this.
My thoughts exactly. If anything - for me, at least - it would deter me from seeing it if I wasn't a genuine Bond fan. Films that obviously have 3D for a quick cash grab don't interest me.
According to http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=intl&id=bond23.htm, the figures of Australia are not there yet....
New Zealand also
