I think EON (the producers) works best when their backs are against the wall. They know the stakes and deliver every time no one thinks they can. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think they’ll have a Super Bowl spot. Also, I anticipate heavy TV marketing during March Madness college basketball in the US. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The troubled production history mainly centered on Danny Boyle’s departure. The story and screenplay that eventually became NTTD is an original pitch from Cary Fukunaga. Even with additional scripting from Neil Purvis, Robert Wade, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Scott Z. Burns we can’t really say that NTTD isn’t as “well produced or cohesive as Skyfall.” Skyfall was not without it’s own hiccups: Original script from Peter Morgan was re-written by Purvis and Wade. That screenplay was later polished by John Logan Production was suspended when MGM ran into financial trouble Die Another Day wasn’t marketed as Brosnan’s last Bond film because it wasn’t intended to be his last.

I think it speaks to EON’s confidence in the material that NTTD will tie up Spectre’s loose ends. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, I think just from the estimated runtime, it won’t be like QOS but many Bond fans have positively re-evaluated that film. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think so too. If it opens north of $80m then $200m is almost guaranteed. Correct me if I’m wrong but the only film that opened at $80m or above and not hit $200m is “X-MEN Origins: Wolverine.” My all in is $275m domestic and $900m overseas. Pent up demand, inflation and a strong dollar will carry this to $1b if the reviews are good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think NTTD has as good of a shot at 1 billion as WW84 & Black Widow. Never underestimate Bond’s overseas appeal, especially in Western Europe. Spectre underperformed, in part, because of the critical/audience consensus but had the USD exchange rate been as strong in November 2015 as it was in Spring/Summer then Spectre would have probably equaled Skyfall overseas. Spectre even outperformed Skyfall in some foreign markets. I’m not saying it’s guaranteed but it’s not as much of a long shot as many think. To put it another way, I don’t see NTTD doing less than Spectre in almost any overseas market. Five years of anticipation, a strong dollar and general inflation could give NTTD the 1 or 2 spot for biggest overseas gross in 2020. My estimate: 275/900 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If it is Eilish then we may get an announcement in time for her performance at the Grammy's on January 26th. It would be a boon to have her debut the song at the show.

Why is Lana Del Rey such an ‘obvious’ choice? Eilish has been favorably compared to Del Rey and she holds her up as an inspiration. Del Rey would be a good choice but why not go for someone that can sing and sell some records? As for QOS, had there not been a writer’s strike, then EON may have pulled it off. None the less, the film is getting more favorable recognition as it ages. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Too true but she had the best performing album of 2019, and it was also a critical success. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Or the director wants a different direction. I think many people would be surprised at the amount of creative freedom this generation of Broccolis give their directors. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think $750M OS is doable.

100M in local currency was never really predicted, although some hoped for it. The estimated target was 80M, which has already been achieved. 90M is likely with 90M+ on the table. Spectre won't match Skyfall in the UK, but for all intents and purposes that wasn't the expectation.

POSTED BY USER 'GUSTAV_GRAVES' Box Office News France:The attacks that took place in Paris last Friday and the closure of many cinemas over the weekend did not prevent the 24th episode of 007 to succeed the best start in 2015 in its first week of release in France, with more than 2 million spectators.When everything goes wrong, the only one to turn Bond remains. James Bond. According to the ranking published today by CBO Box Office, SPECTRE, the new movie of secret agent in the service of Her Majesty had the fastest start of 2015 with 2.2 million viewers in its first week, despite the attacks that took place in Paris last Friday.The 24th installment of the adventures of the famous British spy (played by Daniel Craig), released on the holiday of November 11, was attended by 2,203,549 viewers in France to 902 screens, even as the Parisian cinemas had closed their rooms in the aftermath of Saturday attacks in Paris.James Bond is also stronger than the Minions. SPECTRE and beats the record held so far this year by The Minions, which drew 2,180,641 viewers in its first week of operation.It's also the best start in France for a James Bond film. The previous James Bond, Skyfall, had collected 1,839,220 viewers in its entire first week in October 2012.

There's still Japan, India and South Africa. Point taken, though. They're not huge markets for Bond (at least Japan isn't) but they could add $40-$50M combined.

Spectre's box office may go up when the French numbers come in. May top $550M this weekend.

The OS doesn't include France. Spectre could go up on Monday or Tuesday.
