James Bond Record

I just browed through some sites and I noticed that Goldfinger is after all this time still holding a RECORD!

It's:

MOST SUCCESSFUL SECOND SEQUELS (in other words, number three in a series)

With a Gross of $51,081,062 it made an improvement of 106% because the Predecessor Gross was $24,796,765!

eek!

after all these years, still standing there on the table smile

but it will get swept away by X-men I'm afraid sad

I'm also fairly certain that, in terms of the number of tickets sold {rather than the gross profit, which is, of course, subject to inflation}, Thunderball is still one of the most successful movies of all time ...

considering the targeted audience, it's amazing they still rank that high!

I meant best out of the Bond films {in terms of the number of tickets sold}, not of all time ...

ah, glad we cleared that up... I reckon bond number 22 has a good shot at beating it... if bond 21 is normal again people will go to 22 much easier again

Even so ... I doubt it. Bond mania is nothing at all like it was in the 60's; plus, movies in general just aren't doing as well now as they used to {in terms of the number of tickets sold}. It's all about the money now ...
