Casino Royale's International Total Approaches $400 Million Mark

Worldwide total now in excess of $550 million

Casino Royale's International Total Breaks $400 Million Barrier

Most recently took in $3.2 million internationally

Ok, so far, the international total is just over $390,000,000 (since Sunday), now I was wondering how many films reach the $400m goal internationally, and how long it should take Royale to make that $10m...

Well only three other films made over $400 mil internationally in 2006 - Pirates, Da Vinci Code, and Ice Age 2. And again in 2005 only three films did it - Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Narnia. And what the hell, let's look at 2004 - yep, three again : Potter, Shrek, Spidey. In other words, this is really an elite milestone that only the biggest of the big can get to.

Well, here's a list:

Funnily enough, though, CASINO ROYALE doesn't seem to be on it. Mind you, this list doesn't seem to have been updated for some months. If this $400 million figure is true, that makes CR bigger than E.T.!

Come on China, help us cross that milestone!



Ah, so that's 18

Hang on, so DIE ANOTHER DAY did only $271,028,927 internationally? (According to this list on Box Office Mojo.) Wow. That's one in the eye for the DCINB mob, eh?

Yes, consid--you know the rest.

You can click on each individual year at this link and see what the top films were internationally. Usually only 3 films a year cross $400 mil internationally...CR will make it four for 2006.

So, Casino Royale is in the top 20 highest international earners! 4th Highest Worldwider earner of 2006, 4th Highest international earner of 2006!

What a great statistic to fling at the Craig-haters - CR has trounced DAD by well over $100 million.

Unless, of course, you adjust for inflation, but---- ah, heck, it's done brilliantly. Or, if you prefer, it's a flop and what the world really wants is the return of Brosnan. Take your pick.

Why should we? They never did when saying Brosnan was the highest earner ever, the Billion dollar Bond, etc. They just used the unadjusted figures...

I wonder if it will make that before the China opening. It most recently took in $11.3 million internationally over the weekend.

'JCR'

22 Films have passed the $400,000,000 in international sales (i.e. non US).

The next 2 films above CR are the 'Spiderman' films.

No 21 Spiderman at $417,900,000 and
No 22 Spiderman 2 at $410,200,000

CR should be able to pass 'spidey2' before the end of its run, could
even reach 'spidey1' if BO in China is strong.

Incidently CR will pass $400,000,000 at the Int BO this coming weekend.

ah, ok, 22. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/intl/alltime/intl.htm - how is this one different?

'JCR' The 'boxofficemojo' chart is not upto DATE, as per date given above chart,

does not include 2006 hits such as POTC:DMC, DaVinci Code AND Ice age:Meltdown

which all made over $400mil internationally.
