It will be big, but we have to wait, how much Sandy aftermath might effect some numbers. Surely there will be less people going in those areas. How much that will be in Dollar?
The top notch acting in the Weisz/Craig/Spall 'Betrayal' is emotionally true, often v funny and its beautifully staged with filmic qualities..

Very interesting and eciting read
Twitter Buzz Is 'Skyfall' High
Add Comment on November 01, 2012 by Shawn Robbins
skyfall.pngWith less than nine days left before Skyfall makes its North American debut (or eight days for those catching it in IMAX on Thursday, November
, the chatter on the latest and highly anticipated James Bond outing is reaching a fever pitch.
The buzz comes on the heels of it's outstanding $80.6 million overseas debut last weekend. A huge chunk of that came from the flick's United Kingdom home base where Skyfall tallied $32.5 million - the biggest UK opening of 2012 and the second best in history behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. 007 also topped that film for the UK's best Monday gross of all-time this week, and has just crossed $100 million internationally as of Wednesday.
While highly unlikely that Skyfall reaches the equivalent Potter opening ($169.2 million) in North America next week, we're already seeing signs of a huge debut coming down the pike.
Dating back to last Friday - two weeks out from release - Skyfall hit a massive 50,000 tweet mark in a single day. The momentum has carried ever since, having totaled 194,267 tweets between Friday, October 26 and Tuesday, October 30. Granted, the film's international debut is contributing to the high volume of discussion but its an impressive stat nonetheless. Perhaps an even better indicator of the strength of that buzz is the excellent 11.6 to 1 positive-to-negative ratio of the tweets.
How does that compare to other recent films?
Taken 2 tallied 10,410 tweets during the same five-day frame before its release in October. That sequel's pos-to-neg ratio, however, was on the opposite end of the spectrum at 4.6 to 1. It opened to $49.5 million.
The Bourne Legacy was even less impressive by comparison with its 7,112 tweets, although the 6.4 to 1 ratio was a bit stronger than Taken 2's.
Perhaps the best comparison is last year's holiday smash Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol. Although that film's week-early IMAX release changes the equation slightly, it tallied a modest 6,763 tweets during the same five-day frame. The positive-to-negative ratio during that time, however, was a fantastic 11.4 to 1 - just slightly behind where Skyfall stands right now. With strong word of mouth through the holidays, Ghost Protocol reached $209.4 million domestically.
Another 2011 blockbuster may also be an indicator of where 007 is headed at the domestic box office next weekend. Fast Five totaled 10,703 tweets during the comparable time and, interestingly, a low 4.4 to 1 ratio. We can mostly chalk that up to general skepticism of the franchise from online film circles - especially before the fantastic word of mouth of Fast Five reached domestic audiences. The film blew away the industry with its $86.2 million debut (onward to $209.8 million)
On top of the Twitter activity, Flixster also stacks up well with 98% of nearly 40,000 voters anticipating Skyfall as of nine days out from release. Taken 2 topped out at 30,637 on the day *before* release while Ghost Protocol capped with a near-identical 30,916 votes.
What does it all mean? No metric is ever an apples-to-apples comparison when it comes to social media, but the signs are overwhelmingly pointing in favor of Skyfall for a huge opening next weekend. As of last Saturday, the Boxoffice.com team was predicting an $80 million North American debut for the 23rd Bond movie. That would already put it ahead of Quantum of Solace's $67.5 million debut back in 2008 for the biggest Bond opener, as well as The Bourne Ultimatum's $69.3 million opening (the record for the spy genre) back in 2007.
With snowballing buzz, highly penetrative and confident marketing (including the viral skit with Queen Elizabeth during the Summer Olympics), excellent reviews and overseas word of mouth, a hit radio single in Adele's theme song, and a domestic box office market that began to recover throughout most of October... well, we could potentially be looking at a blockbuster the likes of which the Bond franchise hasn't seen in a very long time - if ever.

Regarding how the theater was packed yesterday for ALL screenings (minimum 6 screening a day) and that many site have been affected by mass bookings I suppose Germany will have a great opening!Sylvia's girl wrote:Skyfall shakes international box office, stirs up $125.2m

This is FABULOUS NEWS!!!!!!!!! Numbers and money shouldn't matter when it comes to art. But I am very pleased for all the Bond Crew that this has come off so well for them. I also continue to love seeing Daniel trounce the opinions of the naysayers... if they haven't all changed their minds by now, they must be mad!

WOW
'Skyfall' Continues To Rock International Box Office!Share
Sony Pictures’ and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s SKYFALL, the 23rd film in the James Bond series, grossed an extraordinary $156 million this weekend, bringing the overseas total to $287 million after just 10 days. Sony’s markets earned an estimated $139 million for the weekend and MGM’s licensees did and estimated $17 million. Simply a staggering result!
GERMANY opened with a huge $23.9, which was the biggest opening of 2012, 77% bigger than the openining of Quantum of Solace and 88% bigger than Casino Royale. ITALY launched with $7.9, which was the biggest opening of a Hollywood film in 2012 and the 2nd biggest overall. It beat the opening of Quantum by 95% and Casino by 85%. SPAIN opened to $6.7, which is the 2nd biggest opening of the year behind the phenomenal The Impossible. It was 27% bigger than the opening of Quantum and 73% more than Casino. SWITZERLAND had a record-setting opening of $5.3, the biggest opening in history there, breaking Quantum of Solace’s old record. HOLLAND opened with $4.4 which was by far the biggest opening of the year there, almost 2 ½ times the previous best Dark Knight. The opening of Skyfall was 91% bigger than that of Quantum, 179% more than Casino.
AUSTRIA launched with a gigantic $3.4, more than double the previous biggest opening of 2012 (Ted), and the 2nd biggest opening of all time there behind Lord Of The Rings: Return of the King in 2003. MEXICO bowed with $3.2, which was 40% bigger than the opening of Quantum of Solace and 151% bigger than Casino Royale. In Asia, INDIA launched with a big $5.1, the 2nd biggest opening of the year there behind only The Amazing Spider-Man, beating the openings of the the #3 film Avengers by 20% and the #4 film Dark Knight by 41%. This opening was 60% bigger than Quantum’s, 82% more than Casino’s. INDONESIA opened on a rare Thursday and grossed $2.5, outgrossing the normal Wednesday openings of Quantum by 93% and Casino by almost 4 times. It was the #3 opening of the year there behind The Amazing Spider-Man and Avengers.
MALAYSIA also bowed with $2.5 and like Indonesia was the 3rd biggest opening of the year behind the same films. This was 45% bigger than Quantum’s opening frame, 160% more than Casino’s. TAIWAN also launched with $2.5, here the 2nd biggest opening of the year behind Avengers, 69% bigger than Quantum and more than 5 times the opening of Casino. SINGAPORE opened to $2.3, the 4th best opening of 2012 behind Avengers, Spider-Man, and Dark Knight. This opening beat those of Quantum by 77% and Casino by 117%. The PHILIPPINES launched with $1.9, 44% bigger than the opening of Quantum, 3 times the opening of Casino. HONG KONG also opened to $1.9 with an 80% market share, besting the opening of Quantum by 59%, Casino by 3 times. THAILAND launched with $1.8 and an 83% market share, 13% bigger than the opening of Quantum, 34% bigger than Casino.
20+ smaller markets all opened well, bigger than any of the previous James Bond films.
Holdovers were nothing less than stunning. The UK fell off just 21% from its opening weekend to gross $25.7 and bring the 10-day market cume to jaw-dropping $85.8 million. France added $14.3 in its 2nd frame to bring the market cume to $30.0, already passing the lifetime of Casino Royale and a day from passing Quantum Of Solace. The Fri-Sat-Sunday portion of the weekend fell off just 20% from last weekend’s opening. RUSSIA was off a good 47% from its opening, adding $5.2 to bring the market cume to $$16.1. BRAZIL fell just 5% from its opening frame ($3.4/$7.8 cume), KOREA was down 49% ($3.0/$11.4), SWEDEN fell off just 2% from its opening frame ($2.8/$8.1 cume), DENMARK fell 15% ($2.7/$7.5), BELGIUM was up 6% for Fri-Sun ($2.6/$4.9), POLAND fell just 24% from its opening ($1.9/$5.7), NORWAY was off 48% ($1.5/$6.5), and FINLAND fell 12% ($1.3/$4.1).
Imax issued an estimated weekend gross of $4.3 mil in 132 locations over 36 territories, or $33+k a screen.
We cannot wait for the North American debut of 'Skyfall' on November 9!

Seems like the world was hungry for this one after such a long break...especially with the talent on board promising an extra boost.Sylvia's girl wrote:WOW

Also it seems like the movie-going public have been forgiving about the shortfalls in QoS and have understood that it was not anyone's fault but bad timing and circumstances outside Eon's control.

I really hope, the US won't let him down. It would be so awesome, if he could make 800 mill plus...and I hope, the awards are coming in generously.
