this weekend my prediction US
1. Skyfall $16 mil ish drops 50 to 55%
2. Twilight $15 mil ish drop 65%
the rest behind Lincoln may threaten them but unlikely.
You won't find a single comment from me laughing at that figure. My only comment on that figure was to say that because of China unpredictability almost to 100M$ variability, it was IMHO pointless to argue whether the final will be 800M$ or 900M$.
On the contrary, I wrote strong posts against someone who was very arrogant in saying there was no way Skyfall would reach such figures...
Well, that's maybe why I have no shame in criticizing him about other topics :) (LTK "a flop", adjustment on some lists and not on some others etc.. )
Like I said earlier, I'm pretty sure the person who posted that mistyped or something. I read $20 million the other day.
Ok, more "seriously", forgetting inflation (and which one, it's a nightmare to decide) enables the PR machine to boast new records every year. People are more interested to read "Skyfall passes Titanic" than to read "New computations by Statistic Inc. show that Sound of Music did more than Gone with the Wind" (I just invented that).
But well, the trouble is that even a serious journalist, who, morever starts his paper with consideration about inflation, can't help finishing with :
"This means that Sam Mendes, bless his cotton socks, has steered James Bond to his first $200m-plus box office performance in North America after almost 50 years of trying. "

Incredible, after just having explained how difficult it is to compare over a few years, he can't help throwing Bondmania and 50 years of history in the dustbin !
That's disgusting.
Daniel Craig is said to have received 31 million pounds for two new James Bond movies and it makes him the highest-paid British actor, as well as the best paid 007 superspy.

Lol very true i feel like a right idiot lol so gullible ha!
Me.
Better to just say who it is. I have no shame over the issue. I was wrong but so were God knows how many others.
Must be over 100 million by the end, yes?
Hands up. Me too.
Although to say you knew it was going to make £900m I would argue is more arrogant ;) Not even Sony would have predicted this.
Well, I'm arrogant. There you have it.
What's even funnier is the $900 million figure could even be deemed 'wrong' if Skyfall earns $1 billion.
Me too. Here's to a billion. <:-P
Stevie Wonder could have said he'd seen it coming. Doesn't mean he did.
Is this just part of some dual film contract agreement or something? He made $17 million for SF, so why wouldn't he receive $34 (or even more) for both of the upcoming films?
CR: £2M
QOS: £5M
SF: £8M
24: £15M
25: £15M
That means the rumoured £12M for the next film was renegotiated. Maybe Bond 26 is when the fees would really go up?
@Samuel001, if a new actor comes in for 'Bond 26,' though, don't you think the fees would go down? I would surmise they would start small for a newer actor, and go from there.
I admit, it has always been a deep profound wish inside my fastbeating cinematic heart to see such a movie. Well, when I heard who the cast members were, actors and crew, I already thought: 'Hmmm, this will be a bit different from previous Bond films. Babs and Michael want to escape the Bond clichés and upgrade the franchise to trendleading, Oscar-potential moviestuff. And at the same time they want a Thunderball-esque moneybomb''. Well, It worked...
The article ;-):
Ahhh, okay, my apologies on that.
Espionage is nothing like this so I would have to strongly disagree.
Thanks for posting the article, it was a good read.
