Agree about the first two, both followed on the heels of commercially unsuccessful films. But DAD, whatever you may think of it, did just fine at the box office.bjmdds wrote:TSWLM, GE, and CR (2006), saved the franchise? https://screenrant.com/james-bond-movie ... franchise/
I never liked the notion that such and such film "saved the franchise" not from public apathy anyway. Now the first two did come about after some upheaval for EON, TSWLM after Saltzman sold his half of the studio and GE after MGM emerged from their first of many bankruptcies. So perhaps had those films under performed the studio would have folded? To Kris' point even the author had to concede DAD did well financially.

Absolutely Kris, I'm always perplexed by people who call themselves "Bond fans" yet are amazed at how "gritty" (read grounded) CR is. Since I'm on the subject I also get a chuckle out of those who claim CR is the best Bond film, how's that meme go?

I do think that if Brosnan had made a fifth film, it probably would have been more grounded than DAD, in the same way that OHMSS followed YOLT and FYEO followed Moonraker.

I could just go directly to Oddschecker for that.

Till writer-director Chinonye Chukwu called out “unabashed misogyny towards Black women” after her film was notably left out of the 2023 Oscar nominations, with star Danielle Deadwyler missing out on the best actress nod many experts predicted she’d receive for her portrayal of Emmett Till’s mother, Mamie Till-Mobley.dirtybenny wrote: ↑Sat Jan 28, 2023 12:46 amJust had a realization concerning this post and our own Babz Broccoli, her Oscar bait film Till was snubbed!Kristatos wrote: ↑Tue Jan 24, 2023 7:34 pm This year's Oscar nominees announced:

This is actually a good get for him. Other than Thomas crown, maybe Remington steel , I don’t know what recommends him as the narrator for greatest heists.Kristatos wrote:Torn between "it's sad to see Pierce reduced to this" and "this actually sounds kind of awesome":

The whole saved the franchise was a pr reaction to the not bond movement, followed by hundreds of millions each movie to promote the man made miserable at the very mention of the name james bond.dirtybenny wrote:Absolutely Kris, I'm always perplexed by people who call themselves "Bond fans" yet are amazed at how "gritty" (read grounded) CR is.
