The longevity is strictly a Sony decision. Skyfall was making more money per screen and was on more screens when it ended its run at the end of February 2013. SPECTRE has been out for *three weeks longer* than Skyfall was. For whatever reason (contractual obligation, professional pride, whatever), Sony is keeping it out long enough to cross the $200 million mark.

Box Office Mojo weekend chart:

35K in it's 20th week is pretty astounding to me, especially for only 9 theaters. Assuming about $12 per ticket, that's roughly 325 people per theater for the weekend...in the movie's 20th week when it's already out on bluray/digital.
Still, congrats to SP for rounding out it's stateside figure. Here's to hoping bond 25 can easily best it.
One week its takings would be dire, followed by a stronger performance the following week, and that wasn't due to theatre increases. In fact SP did pretty poorly when the studio gave the film a theatre increase, recently.
I did think that a few days ago when the theatre count was down to a mere 9 cinemas in the entire USA & Canada region that the film would just fall short of the $200 mil mark.
All i can guess is that many die hard Bond fans must of made some really lengthy journeys just to be able to see the film for a final time.
When all is said and done though, SP's performance in North America was below par (attendance wise), in comparison to recent other Bond flicks, but the fact that the film reached $200 mil, from a financial point of view gives the film makers a better ground to stand on from a negotiating point of view, while they are looking for a new studio to take the film franchise forward.
I noticed that also. I don't know if Box Office Mojo made a mistake yesterday, or got revised information from Sony today.
Yes, i noticed the big change in the gross estimate for SP for Friday.
Something a bit fishy here? Maybe Sony executives themselves all went to see SP this weekend in North America, to tip the film over $200 mil.
