    Forgive me if this has been raised earlier, but figures aren't my strength (quite the opposite). Adjusted for inflation, is SF the biggest earning 007 movie ever or is that still MR, TB, or whatever? Or is it still too early to tell?

    To give you an idea as to Skyfall's standing regards box office adjusted for inflation. I cannot vouch for accuracy, but the list at the link below is inflation adjusted to 2011. It currently (updated 22nd December) shows that Skyfall needs to gross another $60 million to become the biggest earning 007 film ever. There is also a graph indicating the ups and downs of the Bond films popularity at the box office over the fifty years.

    Skyfall's phenomenal success continues. In Denmark, it is not only the number 1 film at the box office in 2012 (and by some distance), but has also now become the most viewed Bond film of all. Skyfall has been seen by 893,844 Danes since its release, surpassing the record set by Casino Royale of 890,371.

    I assume you meant it has dropped from the #1 position in the weekly chart. Skyfall is #1 in the Netherlands box office chart of 2012.

    Skyfall's remarkable success continues as it has now grossed more than $1 billion dollars worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo. It has yet to be released in China, so it now looks almost certain to beat Thunderball and become the most successful Bond film of all at the box office.

    Staggering when you think about it- after fifty years, James Bond is going from strength to strength when in 1962 not many thought the series would last more than a few movies. As has been said, we're in unknown territory here since no other continuous film series has lasted so long (or ever will...?).

    The records keep tumbling. Skyfall has now become the first film to gross £100 million pounds at the UK box office. Yesterday, it became the third film of 2012 to break $1 billion dollars worldwide, after The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises. As it has yet to be released in China, it may overtake TDKR and become the second biggest earner of 2012, though The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey might yet challenge that.

    The people at Boxoffice.com have voted Skyfall equal first in both the US domestic (The Hunger Games) and international (The Intouchables) categories as the most impressive performer at the box office in 2012. The vote was based on films whose success exceeded franchise or genre traditions, broke from the typical in terms of legs, reached massive numbers without the aid of 3D surcharges, and/or various other metrics and points of fact that are often overlooked.

    I liked Avengers, but Hunger Games?.......gotta be kidding. IMO Hunger Games looked like a cheap made for the Sci-Fi channel movie. "Skyfall" is "Citizen Kane" compared to the Hunger Games.
  • 96mn1296mn12 Posts: 632MI6 Agent
    Avengers was ok, the high point was Hulk (finally a decent one). Other than that, meh.

    And yes, Hunger Games was watered down to appeal to the dumbass p*ssy teenagers that like the even sh*ttier twilight. What everyone says I'll repeat, the books are actually really good, violent, gory, great character development. The movie... well read the beginning of my comment.

    Skyfall is to me (despite some serious plot holes) becoming a classic Bond. Amazing what good material can become in the hands of a master director.
