How much did CR cost to make? It would be interesting to compare its box office to the whole series(with adjustments made for inflation, of course)

From what I've read: $150M to make + $150M advertising = $300M.
This is big. Oh, this is very big news. Thanks Qwerty. |

We've heard alot of different numbers for the budget. Between $100 - $150 million seems to be the consensus.

Using dollars is such deceptive BS.
The US dollar is a lot stronger against a number of foreign currencies than it was in 2002. So using US dollars smacks of propaganda BS. Let's hear the figures in British pounds rather than hiding behind a favorable (to Casino Royale) currency exchange rate.

I hope it beats Die Another Day, but I want it to beat the 2002 picture fair-and-square instead of using tricks like playing with exchange rates.

It's about 134 dollars to the pound at the moment, isn't it?  "There was a violent cruelty, a pathological desire to wound, quite near the surface in the man."
