And SP now passes the US adjusted totals of OHMSS and NSNA, and will pass DN in a couple of days.

(And why did the thread title change to $400 million? It already did that in two weeks :) )
I laughed really, really hard at this. Thank you!
$65.7 mil weekend.
Worldwide total now stands at a whopping estimated $681.4 mil.
UK est gross $130.5 mil.
ps: i understand the sarcasm of the title, but can we change it to something realistic now? :)
What? Naah. I'm sure it'll do well, but Good Dinosaur isn't tapping into Spectre's audience. It'll kill Peanuts though.
Yeah, I have a feeling some nuts are about to get crushed B-)

Highlights, from article
Bond still top film in Northern Europe (excl France).
Holland, still top film after 4 weekends.
Big opening in India $4.8 mil
Still doing good BO business in Germany, current tally $50.7 mil.
After record opening in France, prior to terror attack, SP only did $5.9 mil second weekend for a total of $22.6 mil. Film has collapsed in France.
Yes, from the film studio's point of view SP has had some bad luck with its release of the film.........but as they say, 'shit happens' in life.
I agree........thread title needs to change to what you have suggested.
It almost makes me worried that they will keep pushing the budget up to pull out all the stops to attempt to outdo the previous film. Then it means the new film has to do such and such total at the BO. I hope they tone it down a bit for the next one, make it for 200 or under. That way the pressure is not so much.
I changed it to $950 Million :-).
OK.....thanks.........coz it was more confusing, rather anything else before! :)

I'm rather glad the hype is behind now. And, like in 2012 with "Twilight" it's a film that probably won't really hurt Bond. Let's prepare Thanksgiving dinner dear fans!! And the turkey is off course that whining, over-acting Katniss Everdeen, from which all Bond fans are eating >:).
There's no way the budget for Bond 25 is going to be as much as the budget was for SP let alone exceeding it. Not only that but ut's completely unnecessary. A strong film maker can make a much better Bond movie than the last 3 Bond movies with a $200 million budget. Spend the money wisely and not on superfluous stuff like 25 million on writing off luxury sports cars, use less geographical locations. So much creativity and an overall superior can come out from using a less bloated budget but where the Bond movies reaĺly need to start outdoing themselves is in the story/script.
=))
Seems to me that EVERYTHING lately is coming in under expectations. October was full of duds, then SP's opening weekend in the US was "underwhelming", then The 33, Love the Coopers, The Night Before, Secret in their eyes, Mockingjay, ALL opened under their estimates/tracking. US box office is down in general.
That's because everyone is hold back their load in anticipation for Star Wars.
It's a bit too easy to say that if you ask me. In my opinion I found the $300 Million budget logical. Just look what "Cubby" did with "Thunderball" and "Moonraker" some decades back.
If "SPECTRE" received very good reviews, no one whould have whined about the production budget. But because of the SonyLeaks movie pundits got some real insight in production budgets. And not soon after that the 'production budget' became one of the main narratives of this particular Bond production.
Hadn't there been any other leaks regarding the script, had it been written by just John Logan and no one else....then production budgets don't matter. Production budgets are invested in stuff like stunts, (bespoke) cars, publicity, expensive A-list actors, incredible locations, etc. But not so much in screenplays.
The problem with EON is they never learn from from previous mistakes (well only temporary).
After spending a reported $230 mil on QOS, which actually became the most expensive film ever, per running time of the film...........you would of thought they had learned a lesson.
Well, sort of coz SF was cut back with a slightly smaller budget, and less action scenes. But after the success of that film, they made all the same mistakes over again.......spending staggering amounts of money on each scene in SP, and paying vast amounts of money to the star and director.
What really counts is the story and the characters................and not writing off lots of cars, and creating the worlds biggest explosion for a film.
I agree.
We are way too early for that assessment. We will know in a couple of years perhaps.
By the way, sometimes it's not only a matter of competition. 2015 was going to be a heavy crowded box office year. But during some instances certain films that premiered more or less at the same time profited from each other.
"Kingsman" and "Fifty Shades Of Grey" didn't hurt each other. They drew in entirely different audiences. Same with "Jurassic World" and "Inside Out". Both didn't really suffer from each other. Actually, "Jurassic World" went on to earn almost $1.7 Billion and "Inside Out" almost hit $900 Million.
My conclusion: It's not all that bad. Yes, "SPECTRE" will drop heavily when "The Good Dinosaur" premieres. But then again....it opens much closer to "Star Wars 7".
I don't know how much of the revenue goes back to the studio........but as a reference to SF's home market in North America the film earned:-
$47.6 mil for DVD sales, and $52.3 mil for BLU-RAY sales.......a total of just under a $100 mil.
Again, after just one month, it sits at no.7 on the worldwide Bond chart, adjusted for inflation :

I think it'll end up at 4th, but nudging past Goldfinger is not out of the question.
