We are looking at a 30% LOWER box office than SF, and that is a HUGE negative for Cr-egg returning. Hopefully there will be a WB deal that includes Ms. Bouvier's hero to be named as the 7th 007. Cr-egg's been around tooooooooooooo long now and after 10 years it should be time for the next Bond actor. THAT decision will be another huge spectacle for sure :!: Bring it on.

Maybe it will, maybe it won't.

I would bet all the money I have, that Daniel Craig will be back for at least; one more Bond film.

As for the "30% less than SF" comment; I'd say that you're being a little too hasty. As far as I'm concerned, Spectre is performing very well at the box office, thus far.

It will trully be disgraceful if he comes back after what he said. I still have hope left that Barbara has that much brain to see how he needs to be fired.

Even if they do,who is goint to be a favourite of Barbara then? And would she willingly go back to real James Bond? I don't think so,not now,when pretensious critics praised these movie for cheap psychology.

"Fired" for earning MGM and Sony a lot of money? I doubt it!

I don't think Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli care in the slightest, about his remarks in that little interview.

The critics' opinion doesn't seem to be holding back the crowd's from flocking in their droves, to see Spectre.

I'm not even an actual Daniel Craig 'fan', as such. Although, I don't mind him being Bond, I must say he is my least favourite after George Lazenby.

I'm glad, I got that straightened out.

BJ is not being hasty. The time that Spectre has been in theaters is a long time in the world of movies, especially when filmmakers and studios are dealing with the high costs of making films today. As always, they want the good cash returns quickly. But you obviously don't read the newspapers, or you have serious cognitive issues, pal. The $70 million opening in the US prompted a headline about how audiences here may be softening up on Bond. The only thing saving this mess of a film from complete box office failure is that there's nothing else out there right now. But the reality factor is clear: word of mouth hasn't all been stellar for this film, and it's reflected in the box office performance.

James Bond makes money,if we are going to talk about that. Not Daniel Craig. When that would be the case other movies in which he starred in would be more successful.
Speaking of that,when was the last time he actually starred in a movie that wasn't made by EON?

Well, they ousted Brosnan even though he was bringing in the cash for MGM and Sony. At the time, their PR for him was that he was the "billion dollar Bond." And just down below, in another post, you point out that "anything can happen in show business." So your god Craig, by your own admission, could be ousted. After all, anything can happen, as you say. So you contradict yourself on so many levels.
I don't think Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli care in the slightest, about his remarks in that little interview.
Yeah, that's right. They didn't mind his remark for expressing what an ingrate he (Craig) is. _./// That's why Sony bosses were so outraged that they demanded Craig to shut up. Wait a minute, if the Sony bosses are pissed, maybe...maybe...just maybe Eon is also fuming behind the scenes and ran from the issue by being silent because it would've just blown up into a major fiasco. That's reality, pal.

You troll comments are hilarious in how you contradict yourself. Keep it up, pal. I find you amusing.
