My Predictions

Will Quantum Of Solace collect more amount of money in its opening week than Casino Royale (2006) ?

Settled as Yes

Yep, almost double Casino Royale's open!

Background:

James Bond is a pretty bankable character. The franchise is one of the longest running and most successful movie franchises ever with 21 (canon) movies released to date and the 22nd, Quantum of Solace, due to be released on November 7 in the US.

The latest Bond, Daniel Craig, has restarted the series, making him more vulnerable and a little less cocky. His first movie, Casino Royale, was well received with an opening of 40 million. Will Quantum of Solace be able to top it?

Recent Bond Film Opening Weekends:
CASINO ROYALE November 17, 2006 $40,833,156
DIE ANOTHER DAY November 22, 2002 $47,072,040
THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH November 19, 1999 $35,519,007
TOMORROW NEVER DIES December 19, 1997 $25,143,007


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.

US release, UK release, or Worldwide release?
posted 27 weeks ago
It will most likely do better. It will attract movie goers who discovered the series through dvd and rental sales.

Eventhough I made a prediction, does anyone know if this is UK, US or worldwide box office numbers?
posted 1 week ago
This is US box office (as its already released in the UK anyway)... Unless a market specifies otherwise, you should always assume US box office.

@millard - Guru.. I like that! Technically I'm the category editor of Entertainment, but I think I'll now be unofficially the Entertainment Guru :) (Although, I guess honor might already belong to newswrangler... http://www.hubdub.com/p/Leaders?cat=entertainment&page=1 )

FYI...to my understanding it made more money than the original Casino Royale

The best scene was the first 2 mins before the opening credits. They showed the sequence in the trailer. I gave the movie 2 stars.
