I think the word "Guardians" is cursed.

Then what about Guardians of the Galaxy ?

[fishstick]

I guess I need to get out and catch SKYFALL to sort of make up for PA4..

Oh, geez, another ban? You`ll run out of bad replacement IDs, BKB. Please come back as yourself.

[Wadey Wilsoney]

Then what about Guardians of the Galaxy ?

I'm sweating bullets on that.

[fishstick]

IMO, epic fantasy with pointy-eared characters looks terrible in animation. I hope Epic bombs because it looked terrible.P.S. Pointy ears look only good on Spok. Elves and fairies look horrible and it`s laughable to call them most beautiful creatures in the world when pasty-faced Edward looks better.

Close to yes

I think 300m is way too conservative for Bond. We are looking at around 220m by Sunday - 250m the following Sunday - still two weekends after that before the 12 days of Christmas (from 23rd Dec to Jan 1st). The last two Bond flicks took 15m over Christmas give or take a million. Even being conservative, the way Skyfall is playing you can expect it to take at least $25m. This will go well past 300m. I honestly think 330m is realistic. Edited November 24, 2012 by Bond Bug

I wasn't around to see debut of Flight, so it's a nice surprise that it's going to be at 73m+ after this weekend. GO DENZEL.Hopefully I will catch it in theaters as well.

Argo will pass the 100M today

[A Marvel Fanboy]

The Guardians Rise!!!!

too late.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Remember at OW, people said 100M is locked for Argo ...

[Wadey Wilsoney]

Two months ago I didn't think a weekend like this was possible.

[fishstick]

So Bond and BD2 are back on track to $300 mio again,no?

[CJohn]

too late.

Better late than never.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

So Bond and BD2 are back on track to $300 mio again,no?

Bond for sure, not sure about BD2 ...

[baumer]

Except Skyfall has to hold up against the biggest christmas period movies of recent time in the hobbit. The hobbit will dominate everything over the christmas peroid. QOS and Casino Royale had nothing to compete with on this scale during the christmas period of 06 and 08. So $25 mil maybe optimistic as is $330 mil.

In other news, Gangnam Style is the most seen video of all-time on Youtube. Happy Thanksgiving weekend :lol:BD2 will end very close to 300M. Skyfall has a big chance of passing it. It is almost locked. Almost.Lincoln is surprising me big time. Same with Life of Pi.
