Hear hear ;-)!! You can always give me a hug PanchitoPistoles hehe.
Because the last two earned just under $600 million. Even four years later, there is just not that kind of market out there for Bond. If we get $200 million from the US, how on Earth do you expect it to earn $700 million internationally? That would mean it would have to earn over $250 million more than the last films and be one of the biggest international money makers of all time.
It's not having little faith, it's simple maths.

Thank you. I've updated the information. Sorry, I'm on permanent bed rest due to a fractured ankle and only have access to a tablet :(
Sorry to hear about that, get better soon. I'm also on bed rest, caught a bad cold and was sent home by the boss.
Get well, as well ;) you'll be "back on your feet" far sooner than me haha
'Skyfall' Shatters U.K. Record for Monday Box Office
The U.K.'s fascination with James Bond has never been more intense, at least at the box office. "Skyfall," the latest entry in the super spy franchise, has set the record for that country's biggest Monday ever, taking in $6.8 million.
That tops the previous Monday all-time high, set by last year's "Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" with $5.1 million. The 23rd film in the 50-year-old Bond film franchise has now taken in more than $96 million in four days and should pass the $100 million mark Thursday
"Skyfall" is playing in 25 foreign countries ahead of its Nov. 9 bow in the U.S. Other notable four-day hauls: Russia, $9.2 million, France, $8.6 million; Korea, $6.5 million, and Brazil, $3.6 million.

Super!
After a valiant battle, Harry Potter has lost out to older British icon – James Bond. Skyfall is breaking all box office records in the UK.
While Skyfall had only the second biggest box office tally ever in the UK for the first weekend – trailing Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2 – over the first full week, Skyfall has actually managed to outpace the boy wizard’s final adventure.
Skyfall has now taken an extraordinary £37.2 million in its opening week, overtaking Deathly Hallows Part 2 to secure the biggest seven day gross of all time in UK box office history.
In response to the amazing news, producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said, “We are very grateful to the Bond fans and all UK cinema audiences for making Skyfall the biggest opening week ever during our 50th anniversary year.”
“The continued record-breaking success of this film is a true testament to all involved and the global power of this 50 year old franchise” said Gary Barber, chairman and chief executive Officer, MGM.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 eventually earned £73,094,187 in the UK, so Skyfall is already over halfway to overtaking it. Not bad for a film that isn’t showing anywhere in 3D, eh?
Just for your interest, here are the Top 10 earners ever at the UK box office (not taking into account inflation). Where do you think Skyfall will end up?
1 Avatar – £93,442,625
2 Titanic – £79,990,624
3 Toy Story 3 – £73,405,113
4 Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part Two – £73,094,187
5 Mamma Mia! – £69,166,087
6 Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone – £63,957,673
7 The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring – £63,009,288
8 The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King – £60,880,923
9 The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers – £57,600,094
10 Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace – £56,351,660
(Oh, and we know what some of you are thinking – “Where Avengers Assemble?” 17th with £51,614,076, that’s where. Skyfall is already at number 39 on this list)
Casino Royale is currently number 12.
Will it have staying power just like me in my crib?
I think we will have a £100 million Bond movie in the UK - the Olympics' clip is doing Bond the world of good.
A Bond movie with a very British feel doing well in the UK in the wake of a feel good summer - a big hand for this superb bit of marketing strategy...oh and of course to the writers.
I think, they will just ride on the success of this film, while its still hot. They are writing the script as we speak and will have - after SF - an even better access to the greatest talent out there. Directors will queue up, if Mendes declines and they can choose from the best.
So does this mean Eon will make a bond 24 after all films are only given sequels if the box office rate is good ;)
I am joking as I already know bond 24 will come out in 2014 but still couldn't help my self.
Is that confirmed? From where?
That's incredible.
