Yea indeed, tdalton.. Even with Hunger Games just out in the theatres, I do think Bond is holding its own pretty well and will still pull in lots over this Thanksgiving week.

I think the film has finally broke even with it's budget and the amount spent on marketing. Spectre needed to make over $600 million or something crazy to be profitable.

 

Also, based on early reactions and the smaller than expected opening weekend of The Hunger Games's unnecessary 4th film, I believe Spectre will continue to go strong for a few weeks.

Great news!  I think with Thanksgiving week this week, Spectre should be at least even with last week (during the weekday period at least), with maybe even a slight bump up based on what Skyfall did Thanksgiving week.  If things go well, we should see Spectre at #2 all time domestically by the end of the weekend, even with a ways to go when including inflation numbers.  Not too bad at all!  B)

I don't get how Jurassic world did so well being as mediocre as it was. Fast 7 also outdoing the excellent Fury Road by such a huge margin.

it is pretty sad how much some of these movies make. Furious 7, i mean there's literally no rules to it. Toretto should have died in 4 different crashes. that's where criticism i have is relative. i have problems with Spectre, but nothing like some of the junk out there.

If SP was like FF7 then Vesper would have reappeared in SF with Amnesia and 007 would have spent SP trying to make her remember their deep love and what he can do with his little finger.

I don't really think they were going for realism in Furious 7. Though, they actually did drop cars out of a plane...

yes. It's having a pretty dramatic drop off. Hopefully the holiday weekend will give it a little boost.

I think people here in the states have pretty questionable taste in films. As Tarl said, F7 over Fury Road? Please. Absolute no contest. Jurassic World was awful in my opinion. Bored me senseless. I didn't go to the theatre to watch it...at home was enough (more than enough). I'm also hoping TG will give 007 a boost here (and I think it will). Obviously, we have better taste than most in movies B)  Fury Road is my second favorite movie of the year...only behind, what's that film? Oh yeah, Spectre ;)

Hey, I happen to like the Fast and Furious films....... Well, the first film, stopped caring for the franchise until the Rock came on board and I just enjoyed the films as fun brainless action blockbusters.

I might have stuck my neck out too far in reference to wondering if it would earn more than Skyfall.

 

Very apparently, Not.

 

Even if, in my opinion, it is deserving of so.

SP is now at $185m domestically after its 5th weekend.

After this stage SF made another $40m, QoS another $11m and CR another $30m.

 

Can SP make an additional $15m in the rest of its run in the U.S? I'd say that it's very possible.

For reference, QoS made just $3.7m in its 5th weekend, SP made $5.5m, which is more in line with CR's 5th weekend of $5.6m

 

This all indicates to me that SP will go on to make more than QoS did after this stage but less than CR.

I'm thinking $200m to about $205m by the end of its run, all going well.

I wonder how THE FORCE AWAKENS will cut in there, basically the same audience.  Apart from that it could be very well that SPECTRE continues to earn top dollars during the holiday season.

it'll probably make another 10 million in the next week before that and settle in around $205 million when it's done here.

Frankly, I often wonder if this 'taking away the audience from' mantra is really true. If I want to see a Bond film and a Star Wars film I just watch both, it's not a question of either/or for me. Sure, Star Wars will be shown on more - and possibly bigger - screens when it opens. But there is no reason why SPECTRE shouldn't still sell a decent number of tickets, especially during the holidays. People spend whole days in the multiplexes nowadays. Star Wars will only hurt SPECTRE in the outback areas where there are not enough big screens to keep all the season's blockbusters in circulation until January.

And the people who didn't watch it by then either weren't interested in the first place or had their sights on the blueray from the go; something that will become ever more frequent in years to come.

True.  But that mostly applies to fans of both series.  A huge chunk of the mass audience will think long and hard to shell out money for movie tickets, especially when they consider going with the whole family - which means: more money for popcorn, softdrinks.  Also money for parking space.  A couple with a child will have to pay for a babysitter as well.  

 

So many also wait for the DVD instead of watching a movie in the theatre.  STAR WARS will be the film that has a must-see-factor for all four quadrants of the audience, a film you just have to see to join in the conversation, also a film that has the nostalgia factor involved for the older moviegoers.

 

SPECTRE does not have that.  And those who wanted to see it already have done so.  The rest of the potential audience will not necessarily want to still see the film in the cinema.

 

You know the tag line: if there´s only one movie you´ll watch this year, then...

 

Basically sums that up.

One of my views of Skyfall was on 1st January 2013, and it was still running in some local - driving distance this is - multiplexes until early February. Fortunately fans only had a month after that before the DVD came out. I shall see both SPECTRE (again!) and Star Wars. And I also like the look of that new Tom Hanks cold war film, Bridge of Spies.

As you guys said already, most of the latter take of SPECTRE are going to be repeat viewings - seconds; thirds and so on. Nobody seems to expect SPECTRE will have the same strong run as late as SKYFALL did, yet there seems to be a solid base in the audience willing to give it another go, or a couple of even.

It would be interesting to get the statistics for repeated viewings.  Probably the most accurate indicator for how many people actually liked SPECTRE, in contrast to those who were just curious to see the new Bond film.
