I don't see Skyfall generating even the same interest as The Dark Knight Rises. That's why I'm being safe and putting it in the 30s. You have to also remember that Bond is huge in England unlike anywhere else and that's why the numbers are so ridiculously high. You might argue that Bond is big here as well but not on the same level.Does anyone else hate how in Australia during late October and November, there is NOTHING on. And then everything comes out on Boxing Day and January. Argo is an exception this year. It's sad that Bachelorette made more money opening weekend in Australia than it's entire run in the US. Chick flicks seem to perform really well here, even when they are terrible.

November can be a good month for us (more recently with the help of Twilight/Harry Potter). We also have skyfall this year! Still pissed at Wreck-it-Ralph and Hobbit taking so long!And I think $40m should be the aim for skyfall. It may well not get it, but thats what I'm barracking for!

It's just unfortunate that it falls right in between the end of the term 3 holidays and the start of the summer season. At least it gives adults a good run before teenagers and kids storm the theatres.

To be fair, it was given a significantly wider release.

I don't know. For a movie to reach $40m, it has to have some pretty huge buzz and right now I'm not sensing much anticipation. It will do fine but I don't think it will have the broad interest and appeal of The Dark Knight Rises or The Avengers.

I didnt even know it came out in the US.Why such a small release? Especially for a film with a few big names!!
