SPECTRE | 11/6/15 | Final Trailer on Page 126! | Twitter reactions coming in, STID 2.0?

Exactly. I'm sure Spectre, like most James Bond movies, makes its production budget back from sponsors alone.

 

Many of the bigger sponsor deals are for the benefit of cross marketing or goods.  For instance, Heineken spends millions on tv ad print ads, Craig, cast or logo appears in them and the beer appears in the movie.  That serves to promote the beer and the film.  Aston Martin, Ford etc donates cars.  But even if they got $100m in cash for them they'd still be $250m on the hook for production (or $180m if the $280m is right) .

 

Then there's the back end. EON gets another %,  Craig gets a % and probably Mendes (since as said they really wanted him and had basically to beg him to do the film) and then revenue is split between MGM and Sony.

Sony only gets 25% of the profits despite funding the majority of the film. I read that Craig got a monetary bonus for Skyfall but no backend as the Broccolis don't offer it, don't know if that is the case with Spectre.

The Bond families are famous for never giving a back end deal to talent.

All money Craig, Mendes got is upfront and that s it.

I am pretty dure Craig is getting Ausin Martins every year.

I know, Connery for DAF was the one exception.  

 

I should have said (as stated above by Jonwo) a back end bonus depending on how the movie performs (Marvel also does with their non RDJ stars).  He got one for Skyfall and the one for Spectre is reportedly very big probably because he renegotiated a contract extension.

I hope this doesn't make a pattern of "every second Craig Bond sucks". Just based on the trailers, it looks a whole lot better than Quantum, but not nearly as good as Skyfall or Casino.

I hate to break it to you, but Thunderball, Moonraker, Die Another Day isn't a good pattern either.

In a few weeks I'm ready!

Im ready now!

[ddddeeee]

I know I'm behind but Newman's 'Backfire' is pretty spectacular.

Wait what ? 280M$ ? That's an awful lot and Sony funded how many % of that ? So even if Spectre does 1B$ (which I don't think it will, probably around 700-800M$ and mostly OS), it might not be that much of a money maker for Sony ? They really have a shitty year.

 

Also, didn't really followed the news about that, but where are we on the Bond rights situation ? If they lose that, they have not much left in the franchise department (well I guess the MCU Spider-Man films will increase again but there won't be more than one every 2-3 years or more if Kevin Feige makes the schedule).

Industry sources are projecting that Sony/MGM’s 24th James Bond title Spectre is on track to make $75M-$80M stateside, a figure that’s less than the previous installment’s $90.6M opening which included Thursday previews. Any distributor would relish Spectre‘s lower opening, however, some are lowballing the debut on the Sam Mendes-directed film due to a minor case of sequelitis in the wake of Skyfall, which not only posted the highest opening of all-time for a Bond film, but is the highest grossing title in the franchise at $304.4M domestic and $1.1B worldwide. 

 

When Skyfall opened in November 2012 it was getting a huge PR boost from the fact that it was the 50th anniversary of the Ian Fleming franchise. In addition, a studio couldn’t ask for a better global stunt with Daniel Craig parachuting out of a helicopter during the 2012 summer Olympics opening ceremonies in the U.K.

 

Exhibitors haven’t seen Spectre yet. They’ll do so next Wednesday, however, the anticipation is high for its opening potential.

I get absolute joy out of the Heineken TV spots just thinking about how much Craig hated doing them.

just booked my ticket for monday night.

[SchumacherFTW]

I don't think 4 out of 6 screens is going to be enough at my local on Monday night.

$280m is the # someone posted above.  In the Sony leaks it was mid 300 millions.  $280m might be after tax credits.

 

Sony's deal with EON ends after SPECTRE.  Sso either they'll be renewed as financier/distributor or EON and MGM will find another studio to partner up with for the Bond franchise.

  He's clearly miserable.  A far cry from this Bond Visa add in 2002
