Thanks. $900 million would get DC back i guess.
Of course she's cool.. she's played by a Texan :D
Total now in China after 6 days $61,919,800...........so it has passed SF now, and its all a bonus from now on.
Interesting to note, that the ticket price in China, is about a third of what it is here in the UK.............an awful lot of Chinese are going to see the film.

On Wednesday "SPECTRE" banked another $3.8 Million. The film is expected to have very good legs in China, even after "Hunger Games 4" premieres in China this Friday. "The Hunger Games" franchise isn't that much loved in China, which is partially caused by the lacklustre box office grosses of the previous Hunger Games entries in China.
Don't bother yourself with the details. Just know you've done a great service to yourself by not having seen them.
Thanks....i just knew i wasn't missing out on anything, by not seeing those films.
:)
It's actually similar to the 'Running Man' with Arnie, but for a younger crowd.
Jennifer Lawrence was good in the first one.

I loved the first "Hunger Film" actually. Very good dystopian sci-fi, with credible acting from Jennifer Larence. I have never read the books. But after the first film I thought. Good, pretty damn good, no sequels please. This movie is a very good standalone sci-fi flick.
Then this Hunger Games craze came. A rather OK, though not great 2nd film. Then this dreadwful 1st part of "Mockingjay", which is a blasphemy as a standalone film. Unwatchable really. Also Jennifer Lawrence's overacting and crying really irritated me. It was never really part of some plot.
Every logical human being could have known that your best buddy is being brainwashed in the capital. No need to cry over it. It's stupid and unrealistic. And there it shows that it's not for grown-ups, but still is a young adult film.
Since 1995, this will be the first time a Bond film released in the North American market, would of had a BO gross, lower than its predecessor........forgetting about inflation, and admissions etc.
Why do you connect box office results with the quality of the film. I mean, "Rogue Nation" didn't do as well in the US as "Ghost Protocol". Still, I think "Rogue Nation" is a better film than "Ghost Protocol", despite the criticism I have for both films.
It's also not that much a result of bad reviews. "Skyfall" is partially to blaim as well, like you said so many times :-). The film was a 'US box office phenomenon'.
I always bring up Michael Jackson. He spent a lifetime trying to outdo Thriller commercially. It was just impossible. I think he surpassed it critically, but anything he did was always compared to the success of Thriller, unfairly imho.
Unfortunately, Bond may have to live with the shadow of SF for years to come. I hope not.
$3,247,692 ......... running total $134,659,531
Well, realistically you have to adjust for inflation to get a more accurate measure of success. It's no coincidence that its the most recent 8 Bond films that occupy the top 8 spots in unadjusted dollars. Convert to 'tickets sold' and Spectre still has a long way to go :

But hey, so far its beaten AVTAK, TLD, TMWTGG and LTK at the US box office :)
I think "SPECTRE" has a good shot of ending in the TOP 5 as well, beating the adjusted gross from "Moonraker" :-).
