SPECTRE is 7th worldwide this year and will be 6th by the end of this week.
........makes a nice change, for the actual figure to be higher than the estimated figure.
In North America, yes. Skyfall has it beat worldwide and internationally.
I agree TB is No1...............but its best not to go there, as there was almost an all out war here in 2012 over this discussion.
In a nutshell......some people have just used an inflation converter, based on the cost of living rise in America, and applied it to worldwide figures.............but basically it doesn't mean or prove anything.
So neither the Cowboys nor the Indians cared about this one.
Fortunately......most of the world did. :)
That's offensive. They're called Native Americans.
Plus, it should really be Cowpeople.
Surely the wrong Indians, however offended the native Americans may feel on this comment?
The attendance for SP and SF was as follows in Norway after its 3rd weekend
SP = 521 320
SF = 521 213
Very close indeed!
But i must also report that SP has lost some steam now compared to SF
After 4th weekend
SP = 584 438
SF = 600 177
But.........only about 5.1 million people live in Norway................anyway, thats a very high attendance figure per population.
The Scandinavian countries love the Bond films. :)
... and will be 7th again after "Star Wars" has climbed to the Top of the 2015-releases.
thanks for that.............killjoy ;)
Wasn't here for that discussion, but I've read a number of articles that convinced me that all of these Inflation Adjustment figures are arbitrary and often just totally bonkers, and not just for Bond. They get thrown around like they are factual, and very often they mostly are not. Maybe there is a major film BO expert who has done some definitive analysis of this kind of data to get at more accurate figures. I guess the problem is that it can only be done by getting at the number of tickets sold, but good luck on getting that kind of accurate data going back decades in countries around the world.
Bottom line, when ever I see Inflation Adjusted tables for films, Bond films or otherwise, I'm very skeptical.
Exactly..........couldn't of said better myself. :)
Day by Day Comparison
Weekend by Weekend Comparison
Week by Week Comparison
What's unnerving is that Spectre has fallen over 50% two consecutive weekends in a row (the only Craig film to do that). To compare to a more recent spy-themed action film, it took Rogue Nation nine weekends to see a drop over 50% (Rouge Nation had good "legs" after the opening weekend, it looks like Spectre does not).
I am pleased to see the stellar worldwide numbers for Spectre because the North American figures are certainly a disappointment, even when one considers it was never expected to do Skyfall-type numbers.
Nevertheless, my concern is only slight. The film is likely to finish around $850-$900m and that is pretty darned good in my book.
The week by week figures do not tell the whole story.............you have to take into account if films have opened, with another big film being released on the same weekend.
Also, you have to look at the weeks figures to see if they occurred on a normal week, or a holiday week (such as Thanksgiving).
I have no clue on these kids fare. Some of the grosses they get just surprise me, although I realize there is a market for it out there.
PS: If SP gets to $800m, that would possibly put it on par with QoS and CR roughly on ticket sales, given that there was a lot more higher priced IMAX/4K style gross with SP. Anything above is likely SF newbie fan retention.
No idea.............but imagine film will be very popular........as kids love Dinosaurs!
Which reminds me of another often-cited bit of gospel, that more than a billion people have seen a James Bond movie.
Is it possible that's really 1 billion theater admissions? If that's the case (and I don't know if it is), then the hard-core fan who has seen, say, all the movies 100 times in the theater counts as 100, not as 1.
1. $60m for Good Dinosaur
2. $22m for Creed
3. $11m for Frankenstein.
I'm not sure what's expected for HG-MG2 in its 2nd frame, but possibly $40-50m?. That is some serious activity expected for this weekend's box office.
Also, some are expecting $215M just for the opening weekend of SW7.
