Next up, the Philippines on 12/15.
Last week F9 was at $721. Now at $739. As per IMDB, it opened today in the Philippines (where the previous one made just a $7M total).
It doesn’t make any sense that $739M figure.
The Numbers - which is overall more precise than Mojo - still reports $721M.
EDIT: It’s a bug on Boxofficemojo, confirmed. F9 never grossed $15M (LOL) in Ireland like they report. It happens sometimes, they will fix it soon.
The correct F9 gross is reported by The Numbers.
So it passed my 750m prediction, very nice!
The 'zilla movie at #1 is just over $21m....and should be passed quite easily.
Unfortunately no.
In the meantime…
I think that in the foreseeable future only Avatar 2 has a real chance to best NTTD.
The problem Bond faces in Australia is that the two biggest markets were in lockdown from July - October, so there is quite a backlog of blockbusters to get through.
At my local cinema, when it was released, NTTD was up against Black Wide, Suicide Squad, Shang-Chi and The Eternals. Now it will up against The Eternals, Dune and Spiderman.
NTTD worldwide gross is a pandemic record breaking $755,969,024.
That means Bond grossed $22M worldwide over the last seven days, dropping just -12% compared to the previous week.
It also means NTTD has topped the adjusted for 2021 inflation gross of QOS.
Excellent.
Honestly, I'm shocked the film did so good and the main reason is that people liked it and the VOM has been strong. NTTD is leggier than SP even in the US, its only kinda disappointing market.
What insane folk are saying that rubbish?
Yeah, we're not exactly known for our fine taste these days.
Quite unfortunate — but at least the rest of the world makes up for us yanks lack of taste!
Astounding to me that NTTD overtook Spectre in the UK.
While the following is not specific to Bond, it does look at the future of movie-going in the U.S.

“The research clearly shows that theaters are suffering because the pandemic intensified, accelerated, amplified all of the nascent trends that were already underway,” Ms. Ong said. “That is the definition of a perfect storm — not that various problems exist at the same time, but that they have an intensifying effect on each other.”
The detailed report (which I have not read as of yet) can be found here:

Food for thought.
More than any other flick coming out?
That's not true.
There are many movies, that had spring/summer-2020-release-dates set, and still have not been released.
Think of "Top Gun:Maverick", "Minions 2", "The King's Man", "Death on the Nile" ... just to name a few.
"Ghostbusters: Afterlife" should have been released in June 2020, and was pushed to November 2021 aswell. Almost every movie coming out these days had the same release-story.
So people must see EVERY movie as "old news".
I think the majority of people don't care about when a movie was filmed, or when it was to be released originally.
Agreed. It is interesting to note that despite the VOD availability of NTTD it seems to be enjoying a good Week over Week performance in the US when compared to SP (i.e., the film has legs). This is especially surprising given that the VOD ads that I have seen do not note hat the film is still in theaters.
I may have to go along so I can see it in that format one last time.
