Casino Royale Approaches $500 Million Mark At Box Office

Currently at $490 million+

Worldwide Boxoffice update to the end of 31/12/06 from 'Variety'

http://www.variety.c...9...yid=13&cs=1

CR's WORLDWIDE total now stands at $490,000,000. Will pass the $500,000,000
in 2 or 3 days time (remember tomorrow is a holiday boost for BO).

Will be the first Bond film to reach the 1/2 BILLION mark.

The film has done slighty better than i expected over the holiday period and
with releases in Italy on 5th Jan and China 30th Jan, i believe the film
will gross close upto the $550 mil mark in total.

[Double-0-Seven]

Excellent!

[JackWade]

CR had a great holiday in the US. Without it, CR wouldn't have virtually caught up with DAD.

Great news!

[Harmsway]

Beautiful. CASINO ROYALE is on fire!

[annita]

these numbers just completes what a remarkable story CR has been, at the end of 2005, DC was attacked and ridiculed, and CR was predicted to be a failure....nothing gives me more pleasure than these numbers

take that CnB idiots!

Great news. English Agent, do you know what kind of money CR can be expected to make from China?

No i don't. Believe this is the first Bond film to be released in
China.

It will be interesting to see what business it does.

By the way: Happy New Year to everyone at CommanderBond.net

And some more good news. It looks like CR might be a million or two ahead of where DAD was after 7 weeks in the U.S. One more decent week while some people are still off of work might put CR close to $160 million by the end of next weekend! With the movie still in theatres for the next couple of months, perhaps $165 to $170 million is obtainable, which would be close to the desired $175 million inflation adjusted numbers that would put it on par with DAD. Maybe not quite to that level, but still pretty close, which would not be bad at all, especially considering the worldwide gross has already passed the $500 million mark!

Happy New Year to all on CBn!

great news. F 'em Cnbers - looks like your boycott failed. English Agent, you truely are a great guy, thanks for keeping us up with the current intake,

[Johnboy007]

Once again, thank you for a successful boycott.

[dinovelvet]

great news. F 'em Cnbers - looks like your boycott failed.

But it had a 43% drop on its fourth Tuesday in Guam! What a disaster!

[kneelbeforezod]

Sadly, with it's 250 million production budget and it's 250 million marketing budget, Casino Royale has yet to break even. A huge box office disappointment.

Casino Royale Approaches $500 Million Mark At Box Office

I wonder how long before a Bond film makes $1 billion at the boxoffice?

Sometime in the 2010's i would guess.

Given only three films have ever grossed more than $1 billion dollars at the box office - Titanic (1997), Return of the King (2003), Pirates of the Carribbean 2 (2006) - these things don't come around very often.

That said, I wasn't really expecting CR to take half a billion dollars at the box office, so I'm happy to be surprised like that!

[DamnCoffee]

I'm really happy for eon and the whole Bond team ~ Cubby will be proud.

[Agent 76]

Cubby will be proud.

Indeed.

Very proud, because they did a wonderfull job, they believed in the project and they made it almost perfect. Bond is more alive than ever!

[DamnCoffee]

you took the words right out of my mouth

Doubtful. Unless it has Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp, Hillary Duff, and Paris Hilton in it, I don't see a Bond taking in $1 billion for quite awhile.

[DamnCoffee]

Never say never

[EWKDSMB]

exactly what date in janruary is the chineese new year.
because with every one on holiday CR will stand an excellent chance of doing really well

[English Agent]

......i know i've posted a few BO reports today, but i keep
finding good news for CR.

here is an extract from a report from the HollywoodReporter
posted today for the overseas market.

Tied for fourth place for the weekend are Sony Pictures Releasing International's "Casino Royale" and Universal International's "The Holiday," with estimates of $16 million apiece. The 21st installment in the James Bond series played 5,300 screens in 61 territories, while "Holiday" played 3,400 sites in 40 markets.

"Casino" scored a muscular $2.8 million in each of two key holdover markets, the U.K. and Germany, lifting its totals in these territories to $95 million and $43.3 million, respectively. The total international cume for the Agent 007 actioner stands at $338 million, compared with a domestic total of $155 million. Sony expects the film to pass the $500 million worldwide gross mark today.

Sony also said that "Casino" is now its fourth-biggest hit internationally after "The Da Vinci Code" and the two "Spider-Man" movies, and that its overseas cume qualifies the Bond film as the 35th-biggest hit all time internationally, passing the original "Star Wars" ($337 million).

Yet another nail in the boycott coffin =). What's amazing about the film is, it has no big names in it and it still made 490 million.

Well as we all know, names is for tombstones, baby.

It looks like CR will hit $100 million in the UK alone
