And why shouldn't Star Wars open to 215...frankly it'll be embarrassing if it doesn't beat Jurassic World's opening (208).
I really didn't get that
We've added $154 million to the total so we must have cared some.
Tired of this damn bashing. The film is doing very well for a mediocre Bond film. Give us more and you'll get more.
I'm more in line with you than others, @Murdock. While I'm conflicted about how I feel about the film, as in is it a "good" Bond or a "great" one, I know that I must like it a good bit if every time I read a post or review with someone calling it "subpar," "underwhelming" or "average" I roll my eyes and scoff.
I can see why some wouldn't like it but, I loved it from beginning to end. I didn't see any problems with the story, writing or what have you. I went in with the highest of expectations and they were exceeded. People calling Spectre the worst Bond ever must not have seen any of the Pre Craig films. I went in to have fun, not pick it apart bit by bit. While I didn't like Newman's score, it didn't ruin the film for me. I went in to be entertained and I was entertained. It's a great year to be a Bond fan. I loved it. It's my 2nd favorite Bond film right behind GoldenEye which holds #1 for good. :-bd
Wow, I'm glad you liked it THAT much. :) With you and Goldeneye and me and Casino Royale it seems neither of us will ever see another Bond film that does it for us the way those ones do.
Will be 6th, because it will surpass "Inside Out" as well.
"The Good Dinosaur" will do very well. I've already mentioned that film earlier this year. It's the 2nd Pixar film and it's even more family-friendly than "Inside Out" if I may say so.
I think it could gross $100 Million during this Thanksgiving opening weekend. Especially because it is a Thanksgiving premiere. And after that I think it's the movie that has the best chance to stay in the TOP 3 after "Star Wars 7" premieres.
"SPECTRE" may be helped by the Thanksgiving weekend, but so will "The Good Dinosaur", "Hunger Games 4", "Creed", "Frankenstein" and "The Peanuts".
But so far.....looking at the rather weak legs "SPECTRE" has....I'm not going to predict. Perhaps even a $10 Million gross will be too much to ask for. $7 Million?
QOS made $6,7 million on its 4th weekend.
And as SF already did less than QOS on it's 3rd weekend, I assume, we can predict about $6 million for next weekend.
Which makes "SPECTRE" now rapidly fall down into "QOS" terrirtories. And perhaps it will also have trouble catching "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation". Sony is not going to be pleased about this.
What's happening?! I find our views converging more and more often! Apart from on GE, obviously!
BO figures make no sense to me. TB and SF are the two most successful Bond films, but for me personally two of my least favourite entries.
Thunderball rode on the success of the first 3 Bonds, it was the height of 'Bondmania', Bond was very much in the public imagination, as with DC's Bond.
I think it will surpass MI-RN, but the film is definitely not doing as well as had been hoped, by many, including the fans. Keep in mind that a lot of its opening 2 weekend's gross was on account of all the SF goodwill as well.....which makes any rapid decline subsequently quite troubling......Bond is known for its ability to hold strong over many weekends....that has always been true for a Bond film in the US
The moment you two lovebirds start singing the praises of Brosnan together is the moment I know the world is coming to an end..
I think so. It was certainly a mediocre experience for me. I liked some parts but on the whole I wasn't excited about the experience. It has little to 'connect' with those outside the hardcore (for which Blofeld etc. are very important due to the history). There are little things they could have done along the way to forge that connection (expand popular GoG/WWE Hinx's role for example). Or produce an extraordinary visceral set piece action scene. They did not do that, which is why many are talking about Mexico as the highlight.
The final totals of CR, SF and QoS after their entire run:
Edit: Had wrong numbers on my last post
QoS = 487 464 (don't know if this is exactly the right number, but it was the last i found)
CR = 585 440
SF = 742 259
I was distinctly nonplussed after my first viewing but second time round I really enjoyed it. Not sure why my views changed so much.
I really like it, but also completely get all the criticisms. I actually noticed many of the same things that other people have criticised when I first saw it.
I just think perhaps, like a few other Bond films that didn't get great buzz, that it might be a bit of a grower. I definitely think it has more rewatch value than SF, which is such a downer of a movie.
However, the problem is I think the general public really won't give it that 2nd chance...first impressions count with a lot of people. I'm speaking strictly from a box office perspective here, given the thread title.
I masturbate everytime I see "SPECTRE" 8-} :))
like I said almost all theaters were house full on opening weekend,
but wouldn't you agree it has terrible word of mouth over here ?
=)) Everything you say is a hoot!
She said no thanks to doing it again but there she is riding backwards on a bike with no helmet full speed down the fairway at th e end of the second movie again. It's basically here signature move now like Bond's gunbarrel. I wonder gently if there will be a thirdle. But maybe for another post.
