The standout sequence that comes to mind from MI3 is the building pendulum swing. I don't know what the trailers focused on showing of the movie way back when, but that was pretty nuts, as was Davian's escape on the bridge.
Oh, definitely. I'll happily concede that MI3 is the most lacking as far as action goes, likely because it chose to focus on the relationships in Ethan's life, which I actually really love about it. The first film was kind of like that too, more focused on character interaction and tension than blown out action. That film has some small sequences leading up to the big train/helicopter finale, while MI3 is just made up of small sequences that don't lead up to any big climax, but work well as a whole in the end. Obviously #2 is just wall to wall action from start to finish, and GP did a great job of having lots of big set pieces throughout leading to the amazing car park sequence that make it such an amazing thrill ride; the action and suspense just never stops. As for RN, I think it's got a bit of 3 and GP in it. There's a lot of character interaction but also some good set pieces that balance it out. One thing I love about this series is how each film tackles the formula differently. And as @Creasy47 has pointed out, Tom's hair fluctuates between short and long every other film. I wonder if that's purposeful or just coincidence?
The general public don't give a shit or even remember the leaks. The budget was obviously too high and unfortunately you can't tell as it doesn't 'look' anymore expensive than say Quantum of Solace 'on acreen'.
Not directly. But indirectly they do get the news that "Daniel Craig is being Bond one last time" or that "Idris Elba has been cast as the next Bond" or that "Also Tom Hardy mentioned as next James Bond" or that "Ewan McGregor likes to be the next Bond" or that "Daniel Craig hates playing James Bond" or that "Looking at the quality of the film the cistly budget was unnecessary".
If you want it or not, that narrative will be picked up by audiences, consciously or subconsciously.
So many of the audience have asked their money back. Especially those forum members who saw it 20-30 times became a big, sudden economic burden for the theaters.
Sarcasm...though one of the worst types (:|
All other countries across the globe do not release daily estimates. So below figure includes only the estimates from Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in the USA/Canada and China:
"SPECTRE":
--> 26.10.2015, Monday: UK premiere (countrywide)
--> 06.11.2015, Friday: USA premiere
--> 25.11.2015, Sunday: 30 days in cinema's across the globe, 19 days in cinema's across the USA/Canada
http://deadline.com/2015/11/hunger-games-mockingjay-part-2-spectre-international-box-office-results-1201634041/
Box office results "SPECTRE" on 22.11.2015:
--> $158.5 Million: Domestic Box Office (USA/Canada)
--> $530.9 Million: Foreign Box Office
--> $689.4 Million: Global Box Office (after 30 days in release, 19 days in the USA/Canada....11 days after UK release)
"SKYFALL":
--> 26.10.2012, Friday: UK premiere (countrywide)
--> 09.11.2012, Friday: USA premiere
--> 25.11.2012, Sunday: 30 days in cinema's across the globe, 16 days in cinema's across the USA/Canada
http://www.businessinsider.com/skyfall-crosses-200-million-in-the-us-2012-11
Box office results "SKYFALL" on 25.11.2012:
--> $214.3 Million: Domestic Box Office (USA/Canada)
--> $568.4 Million: Foreign Box Office
--> $782.7 Million: Global Box Office (after 30 days in release, 16 days in the USA/Canada....14 days after UK release)
So....30 days since the roll-out of "SPECTRE" across the globe have passed. With that timeframe in mind, "SPECTRE" paces only $93.3 Million behind "Skyfall". Battles with "Hunger Games 4" and "The Peanuts" are now behind us. Mind you, next week: Thanksgiving ;-)! And above figures from "SKYFALL" already had the Thanksgiving figures included. But can "SPECTRE" battle so many new/newer movies this Thanksgiving weekend?

Typo??

It shows what we suspected......that Bond pretty much has its core audience and only SF seemed to bring in a lot of newbies.......QoS lost a few (understandable because the film was not for everyone). I'm curious to see the final result for SP, once the dust settles and it's all said and done.
It's interesting to note also that the SP opening weekend was significantly less than the QoS opening as well, in terms of ticket sales.
Also interesting to note that the GE, TND, CR & SF multipliers (opening weekend to total ticket sales over entire run) are very strong. The others, not so good.....i.e. not the same type of 'legs'.
TND was probably unfairly hurt on weekend one due to opening against Titanic, so its opening weekend is artificially low.
If it has the same opening weekend multiplier as QoS, then it should make $170m or thereabouts.
If it has the same opening weekend multiplier as SF, then it should make about $235m.
The final number is likely to be just in the middle.....so around $200m.
US/Canada (thru Tues.): $157,901,967
China (thru Wed.): $80,691,200
International (thru Sun.): $445,705,951
Worldwide: $684,299,118
That's roughly equal to Quantum's revenue, but with another month or two to go.

One thing we tend to forget though. The foreign box office. Whereas the domestic gross is way more comparable to QOS, the domestic gross is much closer to that of SF. Way closer.
Akin to what happened with CR in 2006, with domestic BO in line with the Brosnan films and international BO increasing significantly.
tomorrow the daily gross will be higher :)
Thank you! This tell a much clearer story of the film's popularity. If only all countries reported tickets sold! Unfortunately, it looks like Spectre has its work cut out just to match the Brosnan films. Then again, this is only two countries and representing approximately 1/5 of moviegoers across the world who have seen the film.
Looking at the attendance for Skyfall, it seems like at least 100 million people saw it in cinemas worldwide. Now that's a truly mind-boggling figure!
Domestic Total: $160,601,967
SPECTRE is tracking right between Thor: The Dark World and Interstellar (movies with similar release date in 2013 and 2014). Expect it to be between $176 and $177 million on Sunday, with a $730 million worldwide take.

Box office results "SPECTRE" on 25.11.2015 (estimate):
--> $160.2 Million: Domestic Box Office (USA/Canada)
--> $531.0 Million: Foreign Box Office
--> $691.2 Million: Global Box Office (after 30 days in release, 19 days in the USA/Canada....which is 11 days after UK release)

So....30 days since the roll-out of "SPECTRE" across the globe have passed. With that timeframe in mind, "SPECTRE" paces only $91.5 Million behind "Skyfall". Battles with "Hunger Games 4" and "The Peanuts" are now behind us. Mind you, next week: Thanksgiving ;-)! And above figures from "SKYFALL" already had the Thanksgiving figures included. But can "SPECTRE" battle so many new/newer movies this Thanksgiving weekend?
One very pivotal thing needs to be addressed. As you know "Skyfall" came out in China in 2013, whereas for "SPECTRE" we can already update the Chinese estimates as it premiered there November 13th.
