It needs to reach the 900m before China release to secure the big B. Long way to go Hopefully it'll reach 750 by sunday.

I dont like it when he's flying an air plane. Quantum of solace would at least have been a 69/100 if it wasnt for the air chase. Now it's just a 66/100. Hopefully the air plane scene will conclude the first act (just like that other stupid airport scene from CR). Stupid!

Pretty bad July though. First July (except for July 2014) since 2009 which won't pass the domestic 1.3 billion mark. But August will hopefully be big.

How much do you think this will have grossed on sunday WW? France, Mexico, HK, Russia and US markets added this week. 500ish?

TA is closing in on JW -- 10m monday vs 4.2m monday.

Will it be released in chinese theaters whatsoever? On the imdb-release date list there's only a "DVD-premiere" (11/25) listed. In that case it'll be struggling to reach the billion.
