Mine too but I am ok with that
I am nostalgic about going to see a Bond movie in the summer but I agree with you that Summer 2015 would not be a good time to put your product out there. There have been certain summers that Bond could have done well but it's difficult to be able to predict these things.
Same here! We all better start saving now peeps! :))
I'm not so much concerned about the $800 Million mark to be honest. 'Skyfall' did wonders for the Bond franchise and truly upgraded the franchise from already big levels to very very big levels.....levels that are Batman-esque and Iron Man-esque.
The fact that huge tentpole name Sam Mendes will be back -the first time since Terence Young and John Glen directed back-to-back films-, makes a repeat of a $ 1 Billion mark more realistic.
I always said it and I say it again: EON Productions and Sony Pictures finally upscaled the franchise I have been wanting all these years. It's logical to think that Bond 24 will again have a big Hollywood starcast.
I'm already looking forward to Bond 24 :-D!!!!

oh yeah I forgot Avatar 2 as well.
Star Way- May
Avengers 2- Summer time
Hunger Games- November
Bond 24- November
Avatar 2- December
So I think that the only compitition Bond 24 has is the Hunger Games in november. All the other big time movies are spread out not all together. Bond 24 will probably make over a Billion. Thats what I think at least
ID4 2
Jurassic Park 4
Terminator 5
All these films are heading for a 2015 release too. It's going to be the busiest summer ever. My fear is that they could end up cancelling each other out in terms of generating revenue in the theatres, or even worse, some could be moved to the October/November period.
I said unlikely. I can't see it being released so soon.
Pirates of the Caribbean 5 and Assassin's Creed are also two other could-be-big films coming out that year.

I know, right? This is heavy.
Even that can be done I think. Albeit in a more horrific, realistic way. What about a JAWS that is really scary and where young kids will not say 'Bring him backkk pleaseee'!!
One could think of an on-screen killing where we hear and see screaming and blood in proportions like we saw in 'LTK' (explosion of Krest's head) or even in....'Saw' :-).
What makes you say that?
Hollywood is looking to China market not only because it grows very fast, but also because US politics (both sides) are asking China to let its currency reach a "fair value", which would mean getting stronger and stronger quickly (so far "only" +30% in 6 years). That's why many say the box office there will become more important than in the US quite fast.
SF already tried to pander to the Chinese. A Chinese production company was used for the film though their involvement with the film was not as major a factor as with many other Hollywood-Chinese co-productions.
So many films are chasing after the Chinese markets. Both Looper and Iron Man 3 being the biggest examples (both films had entire segments specifically filmed for Chinese audiences). Transformers 4 is also looking to be going down the same road by hiring big-name Chinese actors and holding a reality show/X-Factor type show for people to win a part in the film. Johnny Depp's Transcendence is also a Hollywood-Chinese co-production. Look how sickly this video is:
Bond 24 will likely go down the same route, but I hope not as badly as some Hollywood productions.
