-----UPDATE-----
Buonasera (New update 21:18 GMT) CASINO ROYALE has passed $500,000,000 Worldwide $345,000,000 Internationally $156,800,000 North America Today sees the release of CR in Italy Sony Pictures Releasing International's (SPRI) is lauching CR at 410 screens. Generally Italy has not been a large market for Bond films, but as CR has Italian actors and actresses in the film and the fact that the film had parts filmed in Italy such as Venice i expect the film to exceed the boxoffice there made by DAD. Look what Mads Mikellson did for the Danish boxoffice. This weekend in the US i expect CR to be around the $159 mil by the end of Sunday, getting ever nearer to DAD's $160.9 mil. In the UK the film could get very close to $100 mil total, though i expect to see this mark passed early next week, and then surpass 'Pirates' by the end of next weekend. See belows extract from 'Variety' "Casino Royale" shows little sign of letting up its assault on the U.K. box office. It leapt 40% in its seventh frame last weekend despite losing 12% of its screens and is on track to becoming the highest grossing film released in 2006. "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" finished up with 52.5 million ($102 million) but Bond is on its tail with a running cume of $98.2 million as of Jan. 4. In general after Sunday i expect the worldwide total to be between $515-520 mil.........outstanding. P.S. When is the boycott by 'DCnB' supposed to start???????? Ciao |

Great news!
 English Agent... just curious, are you some kind of box office expert? You always seem to get the box office numbers and analysis to us before most.  "Jack Wade, CIA." Bond's American contact 1995-1997 |

You always seem to get the box office numbers and analysis to us before most. It's not my job.......but an interest. I really only started following boxoffice, when the internet came into being, as it allowed this info to be more readily available. I only put reports on this site from respectable and accurate film trade sources. As i have tracked various films BO over the last few years, i have gradually been able to build up a decent list of premier boxoffice resources over the internet. By following BO trends, this gives one experience over the years, to be able to predict a films boxoffice fairly accurately during its run and understand which markets a film will perform strongly. I am currently trying to resource reliable sites to obtain 'admission' figures. This post has been edited by English Agent: 6 January 2007 - 01:36 |

I wonder if it will get to the $575 million that some were predicting for it.

This chart gives inflation adjusted (in 2006 $'s) for all the Bond films:
http://www.klast.net/bond/boxoff.html The chart shows that the $500 million mark has been passed several times before in the James Bond series - From Russia With Love - $513.1 million Goldfinger - $812.25 million Thunderball - $903.98 million You Only Live Twice - $673.61 million Diamonds Are Forever - $577.42 million Live and Let Die - $573.92 million The Spy Who Loved Me - $616.78 million Moonraker - $562.87 million It also shows that for Casino Royale to beat Die Another Day in the United States, Criag's first 007 movie needs to take in $180.36 million.  Robert Brown was Admiral Hargreaves in TSWLM, OP, AVTAK, TLD and LTK damnit Enforcer, Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Roger Moore Proud defender of Barbara Bach, Carole Bouquet, Barbara Carrera, Maryam D'Abo, A View to a Kill, Never Say Never Again and The Spy Who Loved Me. |

Didn't Thunderball make a lot? And thankfully the internet wasn't about in 1967 otherwise there would have been so much gnashing of teeth at a $230-odd million drop from the previous film. Bloody penguins. Casino Royale the biggest Bond since Moonraker? Blimey.  "There was a violent cruelty, a pathological desire to wound, quite near the surface in the man."

Wow, I knew Thunderball made a lot of money, but 900 million with inflation!? That's almost as much as what the Lord of the Rings movies were making. Back on topic, well done to Casino Royale! It deserves every penny it made
