That's a problem these days. Belts being tightened all around.

I can remember when we went to the cinema weekly. Now it's saved for films we really want to see rather that going on the chance that something showing will turn out to be an unexpected surprise.

Bond films still tend to be "an event" because of the longevity of the franchise, it looks like that is helping Skyfall avoid the economic woes.
:stick_iagree: I would never normally go and see a movie several times at the cinema - this is just Daniel's influence and inspiration at work. I am going again tomorrow. I was thinking I might be sat there on my own as it is a Monday and not the school holidays. But I won't mind that if I get a 'private showing'. Maybe not as SF as been so popular with people! 8)

Luckily we have one of the chain of 'Reel' Cinema's up the road from where I live, they do 'specials on a Monday and Wednesday where it is only £3.20. I might sneak up again for the 3rd time on my day off on Wednesday :D

Its 88 Mill indeed

SUNDAY AM, 7TH UPDATE: I’ve triedto give continuous updates all weekend with domestic box office numbers for MGM/Sony Pictures’ Skyfall and DreamWorks Studios/Fox/Disney’s Lincoln, both of which received great reviews going into Friday and sparked intense interest. Total moviegoing through Sunday was $160M, more than half of it from James Bond #23, so that’s a very nice +20% more than last year. Despite a four year hiatus during which some cynics thought 007 had jumped the shark, Skyfall opened in North America much larger than anyone thought. Rival studios thought Sony was low-balling with its $75M pre-release estimate. And on Saturday morning, the studio begged me to lower my sources’ $88M weekend estimate. But the magic number is indeed $88M ($30.8M Friday, $33.8M Saturday, and an estimated $20.3M Sunday). This is absolutely the biggest-grossing 007 movie ever in the string of films since 1962 – not adjusted for inflation or higher ticket prices or IMAX premiums – blowing away Quantum Of Solace‘s $67.5M in 2008. After it received a coveted ‘A’ CinemaScore from audiences, word of mouth expectedly bumped grosses +3% from Friday to Saturday – even though Friday’s gross included $4.6M from Thursday’s IMAX screenings and Friday midnights. Skyfall‘s 3,505-run wide release in U.S. and Canada set a new record for the global franchise. I’m still waiting for a 10-day updated international number from Sony after it opened overseas the weekend of October 26th. Sources tell me that, going into this Friday, the Sam Mendes-directed, John Logan-scripted, Daniel Craig-starring actioner had taken in $346.8M internationally But Hollywood now is betting that the worldwide total will be a gargantuan $500+M through Sunday - which can only be described as shaken, not just stirred.

The top notch acting in the Weisz/Craig/Spall 'Betrayal' is emotionally true, often v funny and its beautifully staged with filmic qualities..

Well they predict it will make about $22.2 mil today. Even if it makes considerably more it's doubtful it will make $200. But there is nothing wrong in wishful thinking. :wink:
