This is the cumulative for "only" the first three weeks. It did in the end north of 55.4M$ (it shows how movies "die" quickly there !).
Also, remember the release was Spiderman + TDKR + Prometheus at once on the first week, and the Expendables 2 the week after (who took the spot 1 from Spiderman) !
Skyfall has no such frontal competition. It is however hard to know yet if it will open on many screens, or whether the two 3D animated movies release in the same days as Skyfall are there to fill the 3D screens or not. There's a comedy movie also that I forgot to list in my previous data above.
For the Hobbit, "everybody" says China love 3D, so it may be a boost Skyfall won't have (but nobody knows...). But the competition is not known to me yet.
PS : Estimations are that in China there are about 10 new screens opening... per day.
Oh the irony about all this box office discussion, this week in China, the Chan movie and the local "Hangover"-like movie are on the top of box office. More persons went to see "Lost in Thailand" (6.1M vs 5.8M), but CZ12 earned more money (37M$ vs 32M$). So you decide who is #1 and #2 !
Still ages away! SF will have beaten TB by then!
Domestic: $297,793,213 29.1%
+ Foreign: $726,400,000 70.9%
= Worldwide: $1,024,193,213
I hope, it does make the 300 in the US.
Wait for the upcoming weekend. Some extra millions will be added then, both in the USA and outside the USA.
Well, I've been sick like a dog since I got back from Christmas hols. Today was possibly the last chance to see it, so I decided I'm well enough to venture outdoors, and so I went... and was told it was sold out. SOLD OUT? :-O Geez. Hadn't prepared for that, obviously. It's been in town since October 26th, and it is still sold out on January 13th? Seriously, folks at the local cinema, try and hold on to it for a bit longer, pleeeeeeese. [-O< Some people still want to spend money on it. Gawddamn.
:((
Sold out, still! Well, that is a true testimony of how impressive the results are for Skyfall. I think theaters should keep it longer because with the award season I'm sure a lot of people will remain interested to watch it.
I hope you get well soon @Tuulia, I was sick for most of my Christmas holidays, so I can relate.
Tuulia, sorry you were sick.
And I live in a pretty middle sized town In Sweden! :O
$90 million until we're in fifth place of the all time list and still a week without China.
Yeah, that's the real deal for me, too. No, I think, it needs another 50 for that.
Yes Brady, I know... :-SS
And for all you doubting Thomas's out there who didn't think it was possible, you should have had a little more faith!
Not TDKR yet... We have around 50M left to go.
Beaten TB???????????????????????????????????? according to only one list, which is lowest count dollar wise for all the Bond films.
We've been here many times........other calculations state SF would need to reach 1.3 billion.
Another list posted states the film would need to gross well over $1.1 bil.
Lets all wait until after the Chinese BO for SF, before making premature announcemnets...eh????
Links please.. we've been HERE before too. :-w
I'm more bothered about that too.
At the end of the day, it beating TB is Bond beating Bond. Not that big a deal to me. Bond beating TDKR is Bond beating the most successful action franchise of the past few years.
I can recall 6 months ago......when most fans would have loved to see 'Skyfall' beating 'Thunderball', inflation adjusted figures included.
