In terms of number of tickets sold in the US, SPECTRE was the lowest (23 million) from 1995 to present. Regardless, all of the films during that period (except for Skyfall) are in the 23 million to 27 million range. Skyfall is No. 3 among Bond films in terms of number of tickets sold in the US.
I made that, LOL.
Bolded for TRUTH!
I may join you on that endeavor. I've never gone backwards before. (Or I may have to save that one for the introduction of Bond #7.)
That's my idea as well. I think Gary Barber wants to wait until the entore distribution package (contracts) is sorted out, but domestically and globally.....and then Barber will probably mention that:
A) Annapurna is doing US and Canada, and
B) A bigger player, like Universal, is doing the worldwide distribution
I hope for that every time I go to see a new Bond. As you say, the odds of that are small, especially given the creative vision of late, but every so often they do knock it outta the park (to some degree or another).
Yes. They should have known with AVTAK, but I seriously think Cubby would have kept asking Roger back into the 90s!
1. It continues the trend of each EON Bond actor having a different total amount of films.
2. I think 5 is a good number to end on; Connery would have stopped on YOLT and Moore would have stopped on FYEO, and by my standards those are good Bond films.
3. Though Craig is my second favorite Bond actor right behind Connery, he obviously is getting worn out by the role, and I doubt there are many other places to take his Bond.
4. First actor since Moore to do more than 4! Craig will have the third-most Bond movies! Having that longevity again is unexpected but nice for the Bond series.
I'm really not that fussed about Craig's high. As I've said previously, this isn't the Daniel Craig show to me. This is the James Bond show, and that's where my loyalty ultimately lies.
As long as they pass it onto a well intentioned and respectful acquirer I don't believe there will be a problem. This is one of the strongest Brand IPs in the business and everyone will want to maximize its value and ensure its success. I just revisited NSNA a few weeks back and it's a perfectly decent Bond film even though EON aren't behind it. So it doesn't have to be a disaster.
Having said that, we don't know how it will play out post-B25 and for all we know EON will be fully committed to launching B26 with a Villeneuve or Nolan and a new actor.
Tarantino has already come close before but I doubt he'd ever get the chance again.
Would be terrible.
After die Another day there was probably those odds. And then they made CR.... which is arguably the best bond film so the hopeful side of me would like to think that after spectre they could bounce back with something incredible. However, I think CR is absolutely flaw less and a classic and the best film ever made so it is quite impossible to top that because not only does it have to be perfect but it has to be better than perfect. So I cornered myself into likely never finding a bond film better than CR, ever. However even something as good as a TLD, or FRWL would be a win for the franchise in my opinion and making something of that class I feel has the .0001 chance you speak of
Agreed, what I’m saying is, it’s so flawless how could they possibly top it, what would they have to do.
A certain chapter in Thunderball sort of yanks the sarcasm right out from under your post.
For some reason everyone seems to care about this. I do too!
It’s just kind of cool. Maybe the next actor gets 3? 8 is quite unlikely.
Yes. But both 3 and 8-film tenures seem kind of undesirable to me, being respectively too short and too long.
