Thanks Max....but i dont need that fact to make me happy!
Nearly as much as Russia that is impressive considering population difference lol.
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=main&id=bond23.htm
I think that is including China it's upto $51 mil in China all other markets are minimal numbers now.
Of course the final US take is yet to be added so that's another $1 million right there.
On what site i Don't think they where?
Yes......i believe the figure doesnt account for this weekends gross in China, as
from what ive read Chinese grosses are announced on Tuesdays.
the site in question was 'Boxoffice.com'.............they announce Chinese grosses!
I think we will have to wait until we see next official BO update from China, to get a clearer picture.............anyway 'SF' still set to pass $1.1 bil in not too distant future.
You're kidding no??? Disappointing figures from China? It's wayyy better than 'The Dark Knight Rises' did in China already! Ooowh gosh, gonna make a new list again now :P.
For this new milestone we most likely have to thank China. Last week, 'Skyfall' made an incredible $34.4 Million. This week another $15.0 Million was added, according to BoxOfficeMojo.com. The cumulative Chinese gross now stands at approximately $49.4 Million.
It is incorrect to say 'Skyfall' will only be in cinema's for four or five weeks ( @htall90 ;-) ). Another action packed blockbuster, 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol', opened in China on January 28th 2012 and closed about late March. At March 25th 'Ghost Protocol' stood at $101,232,739. It's too early to say 'Skyfall' will manage to beat that figure, but the $90 Million is still possible.
For now, 'Skyfall' is ready to beat the China box office gross from 'The Dark Knight Rises', which stands at $52.8 Million. Remember, today's update is based on estimates.
Note for the reader: Take in mind that for, more or less, accurate comparisons, most of the below action/spy movies are produced in 1987 or later. Actually, most of them were produced after the 1990's. All movies in this list are 2D movies!
Furthermore, I have updated the list in such a way now, so that you can also use it as a 'watchlist'. Movies with a '▪' are part of a spy/actionhero movie franchise. Movies with a '▫' are rebooted movies or remakes. Movies with a '∞' are based on previous tv-series.

One spot higher for 'Skyfall' on the 'All Time Box Office'-list from BoxOfficeMojo.com compared to last week. James Bond 23 now managed to grab 'The Dark Knight Rises' 7th place. Next stops are ''Transformers: Dark Of The Moon' (2011) and 'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King' (2003). As long as the 'Skyfall-craze' continues in China, the 5th spot is still in reach.
The standings of the 'All Time Box Office'-list are now:
01) $2,782.3 -- 'Avatar' (2009)
02) $2,185.4 -- 'Titanic' (1998) *2D*
03) $1,511.8 -- 'Marvel's The Avengers' (2012)

10) $1,063.2 -- 'Toy Story ' (2010)
19) $0.949.2 -- 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' (2012)
figures given:-
SF int total $791.5 mil
film made $6.7 mil in Int markets this weekend, of which $6.1 mil was from China (seems to of made less than i expected for this weekend which may explain why we thought overall total for end of this weekend should of been higher!).
Anyway China total for 'SF' is now $50.4 mil
Yes $6.1 mil in its 2nd weekend in China doesnt seem that good, suggesting film will fizzle out there soon...........but over $50 mil is not bad...and it looks like 'SF' could finish around $60 mil in China...do you agree?
Yh will defo get over $60 mil in China at least.
It's just not true. 'The Dark Knight Rises' premiered in China on August 27th. It went out of cinema's around October 17th if I'm not mistaken. That's almost 8 weeks. And after that run 'TDKR' stood at $52.8 Million in China.
'Skyfall' is already pulverizing that amount of money in less than 3 weeks.
For me, getting over 1 billion and catching up with Batman was the big deal here. not so much about the other Bonds of the past.
Indeedddd :O)
Second highest grossing film of 2012 isn't bad either. :)
Now The Hobbit just needs $50 million from China for it's $1 billion.
