Official QOS prediction thread

Quantum has not flopped, but the Box Office take must be of some concern to Eon. Quantum of Solace had a bumper budget and a huge marketing campaign. I'm sure Eon and Sony were hoping for a blockbuster.

Knowing your luck Eon will make one of your favourite Bond films in a few years....and it will tank at the Box Office.

Good question good buddy. Do you think they even care or are oblivious to this and arrogant that ANYTHING they do will sell?

On this evidence, anything they do WILL sell

It may sell and would be worth it if they are able to earn back the money spent on the movie including promotional ads and paraphernalias. Looking at the BO statistics, QOS is "successfull" without thinking about the money it took to make and promote the movie.

Movies are deemed to be successful if it reaches the $500 Gross worldwide. But for QOS? a budget of $250 more or less?

My prediction:

US opening weekend - $40 million
US Total gross - $170 million
UK total gross - $105 million
Worldwide gross - $650 million

Looks like I underpredicted the first one and overpredicted everything else. What does that tell you?

Eon would love the opening TBU had in the USA, but, that just 'ain't a gonna happen'.

Of course it won't, QOS isn't a summer release and it's not even opening on a holiday weekend. If it managed to make 70 million in one weekend that would be the most unexpected thing to happen in a time like that, even for a Bond film.

Tells you what I know just as yours Kris.
