Way to go Mamma Mia! While Die Another Day is not on the top 20 list it can't be far off $59,182,873 (edging out Episode II that year) Indy 4 has $79,283,312.

Just proved that Bond films are big business no matter what decade. I would be willing to bet money the Brosnan's 3 Bond films were on the top 20 list for 1990 - 1999. Could any of you post a link for that?

Both Craig Bond films make the top ten.
Wow, I bet some of you will find that tough.
But having Mamma Mia!(or as I like to call it 'the worst movie ever' ) in the top spot, just proves that the UK is in decline.
Sorry where's DAD?
Didn't make the cut?
And here I was thinking it was more successful.

Are the figures inflation adjusted? It probably doesn't matter as much in a chart of the decade as it does in an all time list, but it still skews the figure towards more recent films.

Never understimate how stupid the British public are these days. Half the country watches that X Factor shite or whatever it's called and idiots like Robbie Williams and Jamie Oliver become huge celebrities. Scary. Plus the PR guff was above & beyond anything wheeled out for Brosnan's films.

Sorry, but Mama Mia was not that bad! :up: I mean c'mon! Colin Firth! Stellan Skarsgard! Pierce Brosnan! Meryl Streep was terrific in it as well.
