Elessar Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 So Skyfall won't top TDKR WW.Don't crow too soon. Could still top it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 So Skyfall won't top TDKR WW. Batman is still the highest grossing 2D release. (If we don't count Titanic due to its 3D re-release)Skyfall is locked to beat TDKR.Minimum is 304 DOM + 742 OS (current) + 55 China = 1101 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickvD Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Skyfall was censored in China, so no surprise it might receive mixed reviews. The scenes shot in China were removed I read. Half of the Hollywood films can't possibly make sense to Chinese audiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(If we don't count Titanic due to its 3D re-release) What about Titanic in its orig run?, its miles ahead of Batman, people can't just start ignoring Titanic in these kind of discussions because of a 3D re-release 15 years later. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Jus remember China loved Battleship, Transformers 2 & 3, 2012, John Carter, and Journey 2. So they aren't really a place of quality with the exception of Life of Pi and Avengers.Says you. Obviously people like different movies. Every movie on this list I rate as a 8.5 or higher. So quality is subjective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 What about MI4? It made over 100M, it's no different than Skyfall in action department.while I loved Skyfall I will easily admit MI4 had much bigger and better action set pieces.

Moviedweeb Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 while I loved Skyfall I will easily admit MI4 had much bigger and better action set pieces.While definitely bigger, I think the 'better' part is subjective. I did enjoy MI4 more on all levels and think it is the better film, but I also thought the Skyfall finale was beautifully shot and uniqeuly intimate.

I thought Skyfalls finale sounded small, boring, cheap and pretty bad 'on paper' but its actually shot brilliantly and its so atmospheric that i actually think its one of the best endings in any Bond movie and thats saying alot when you think about just how big and impressive a lot of Bond films have ended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wasted a Bond movie.I kind of get what you mean and the film doesn't really feel like a Bond film in the sense of its mostly set in gloomy Britain with none of the glamarous locations and none of the big 'over the top' set pieces (well apart from the opening) but as an action thriller i think its a great film.

I can`t believe that China is going to turn tide in TH favor when Skyfall deserves to make more. Fuck 3D helping less successful movies appear more successful. Fuck 3D ever since it pushed Titanic to #2 although Titanic is really #1 forever and ever heart goes on.
