The James Bond saga in numbers: Sean Connery's golden touch
Sean Connery, every movie buff's favorite James Bond, is also the saga's number one cash cow, based on international box office numbers.
Sean Connery's films account for a third of the saga's total revenue
Adjusting for inflation, Sean Connery's James Bond films netted $4.4 billion. The Scottish actor really left his mark on the franchise, his six Bond flicks having pulled in 33% of the saga's total earnings (22 films since 1962). Roger Moore's seven 007 features grossed a worldwide total of $3.96 million, 30% of the saga's total earnings.
The third place in that category goes to Pierce Brosnan, who only grossed 16% of the saga's earnings. He's followed by Daniel Craig, whose films earned 10% of the total, which is twice as much as Timothy Dalton and George Lazenby (5% each).
