The overall box office for Quantum Of Solace will go up.
You'll post more about inflation figures, why Craig's films don't do so well, compare Craigs films to something completely different...you know that usual kind of obsessive post you do regarding Craig.
Come on bj you know it to be true.

Obsessive infers a compulsion Nasherino. I just like to have fun on these forums stating my personal opinions. Obsessions are from those who refuse to allow contrary voice to exist peacefully, without condemnation, or ridicule, if it goes against their own biased thoughts. Your own continent seems less enthralled with Craig this time as well with UNDER $20 milllion in revenue vs. OVER $25 million for CR 2 years ago. There seems to be some bad feelings at the Australian Open as well with chairs being tossed around. Maybe these characters should join our forum to air their grievances? :lol:

Isn't that why we're all here? The only problem is, some members have fun in different ways.

Might wanna let your biggest fan know that :wink:

It was still a massive hit here bj, you seem to forget that part. Oh and the final BO figures haven't come in yet.

The chair tossers (no pun intended) at the Australian Open were Bosnian, and Serbian fans. Not Australian.
So do you still post over at Skywalkers forum bj? I've forgotten the name of it?

If anyone can find some translations of Japanese reviews of QOS,it'd be interesting to hear what *they're* saying about it :wink:

Judging by these images from the premiere back in november, the film could be rather popular...

Can't find any reviews yet. But I'm sure you'll pick the 'best' ones.

QOS is done now, except for the Japanese returns. What have we learned from Craig I and Craig II? Fact: DAD in 2002 did better box office numbers than both CR and QOS in the USA with inflation of ticket prices factored in. Craig II did less than Craig I internationally as well. Critics knocked the stuffings out of Craig II. He is NOT the draw Eon thought he would be with a $400 million TOTAL investment put up. What now?...........can you hear it?.......the bean counters at MGM are ruminating over the returns......... :down:

There was a article in the most recent Total Film(the *hated* Total Film, by Craig fans[/sarcasm] ) which compared how much the movies made and how much their budget was.It was very interesting.

We have also learned that Craig's first two films did better at the BO than Brosnan's first two films. Critics also knocked the stuffing out of Brozza's films too. Brozza's second film did less at the BO than his first. Brozza's second film also had a higher budget and less profit, yet it didn't stop EON hiring him again.

Facts BJ, just the facts. These little facts you forgot to add in your facts above. Oh, and the final BO total for QoS is still not in yet. Let's judge when it's over. If you honestly believe Craig will be booted out now, I think it's time you woke up and smelt this.....

Mmmm, coffee. I just gave up coffee and switched to tea.Now I want a cup of coffee :P


Topic? I'm taking a wait and see attitude towards Bond 23,I will be paying a lot of attention to plot details, both real and rumored.The things that sound good on paper may not always translate to the movies.
