Well the film took a big beating this weekend in the UK, and only grossed £295,000 for a running total of £92.8 mil. It was speculated, that SP needs to rebound a bit over the Xmas hols if it is going to have a chance of beating 'Avatar's' £94 mil.
I would say no, I was a bit carried away by all the hype beforehand, but it really wasn t any more spectacular than a lot of other years before.
Spectre is a successful film, no argument there. Getting passed that 800 mil bar is an achievement in and by itself. Perhaps SF was a freak accident, a wild exception but not the new trend.
Because the answer is not known yet, but with the stunning success of SW7, it is predicted that 2015 could be a record year in N.America with receipts reaching $11 bill.
Surely Spectre has actually sold more tickets than Avatar at this point, though. Pretty much everyone paid the inflated 3D price for Avatar.
Umm, thing is you could say that the 2D ticket prices of 2015, could be on a par or more than what 3D tickets cost in 2009.
Anyway, UK box office goes by gross and not admissions, pity its not both.
It was me, the author of all @Suivez_ce_parachute's pain. >:)
=))
:D
Yes look on YouTube for the invisible car that Mercedes developed.
I think TopGear came up with a somewhat less successful attempt as well.
I wasn t talking BO. I am not an accountant, and the subject doesn t interest me much, unless there are records involved.
If only we could be so lucky as to experience that again, but with another party entirely this time.
You're right, there's no need to talk about it again. Yet for some reason, that's exactly what you choose to do, time and time again. Odd, that.
Anyway, realized today that SP is playing nowhere near me in cinemas, which is a shame because I was hoping to catch it one last time before cinemas. Anyone else notice its disappearance? Didn't think it'd be gone already, but then again, it has been out for a month and a half or so here in the States.
I'm actually surprised that it's still playing at several theaters in my area. A few weeks ago, when I was looking at the listings to figure out when I'd finally make it to the cinema for my first viewing of the film, it kind of seemed like it was starting its wind down, with only three showings per theater a day, and with Star Wars: The Force Awakens looming on the horizon, I thought that it would bow out of theaters when that film arrived.
Just checked the listings a few minutes ago and it's still going fairly strong in theaters around me. I can't imagine that it'll last more than another week, though.
It's the first time I wrote about haserot IIRC, who is IMO the one who suffered actually here (deleting one's comments is not a little thing to do). And I did this only because my username was written out of the blue here... Some people should expect some replies when they write other people's usernames. Notice the one who wrote my username didn't do it the second time and then I didn't reply ;)
I must say I'm jealous of those who still have the chance to see it, then! I feel like the theaters around me have dropped it, just so they have more room for 'The Force Awakens.' I also figured out why I couldn't find showtimes for 'The Revenant' for the longest time: it's not out on Christmas like I thought. :(
No surprise, that SW7 is nearly a sellout for its screenings here.
I want to see the Big Short and Joy before New Year.
Oh btw I forgot a IMO good example : OHMSS.
If you look at the BO of its year, no problem OHMSS did fine, didn't it ?
But if you listen to what Michael G. Wilson says, OHMSS took "a long time" before making any profit.
If you consider the BO of OHMSS' year only includes the inital run, you're left to wonder why Michael G Wilson says this.
If you consider it includes the initial run and then the minor re-releases and so on, it's less weird.
And well, at least for DN and FRWL, we're talking about re-release that possibly brought more BO than the initial run. Quite exceptional, even Star Wars re-releases "only" brought in about 30% more...
Did you know in France OHMSS is the lowest of all the Bond movies as far as the number of viewers counted in the box office lists is concerned ? Dalton's 2 movies came very close to it, but OHMSS still has the "wrong record".
Although to be fair, France had more population in the end of the 80s than in 69, so you can also consider Dalton's the low point here...
All the 21 other Bonds are one step ahead at least.
True. It's a shame it didn't open a week or two sooner. It would have very likely made it past 200m, now it is doable, but not easy. Getting it's theaters soaked up by SW was bad enough but 5 more films are opening Christmas Day and they will take another big bite out of the theater counts of all the films like SP that have been out a while. Christmas and New Years will help if there are enough theaters left. Funny how 200m sounds lots batter than 198m. The opening date was an issue in the leaked emails that the suits at Sony were right about.
Do you have a list of the admissions in France for Bond films, that you could post for us here?
In the end the "Skyfall date" team won, it seems.
At one moment (Oct 2014), they also tried to have the 3rd of October (2015) release date.
1. SF : 7M
2. GF : 6,7M
3. TB: 5,7M
4. FRWL : 5,6M

SP should do around 4,5M
NSNA had 2,6M
CR67 did 1,7M
But as I said many times, beware of too much comparison between years (and well, the populatio of France went up 30% since the 60s !). BO is also a lot about competition (SF benefited from the Asterix "flop", Moore had French action movies still quite strong at that time, etc)
