[The Saint 007]

So they made 8 cars just for this movie but the script is a mess..wonderful. the worse the better. Hoping Craig will leave after this one. It would be in order. Because every actor went with the movie that wasn't really good. Diamonds are forever,A View to a kill,DAD...

Considering that Barbara doesn't want to let Craig go so easily, and how Craig doesn't have much work other than Bond, he'll be staying for a while longer.

I don't think SPECTRE is going to repeat Skyfall numbers honestly... if the movie turns out to be bad and critics don't praise it... plus Craig said himself he wanted to get out of the contract as soon as he got into it... it baffles me because Barbara fired the man who was more than happy to have it-look at EON:50 years of 007 and him talking about signing the contract for the first time in 1986 or when he really got the role in 1994...and there are also many actors who would give their right hand to have this role-Eric Bana,Henry Cavill...but no she is all crazy for Mr.Butcher but he doesn't wanna be James Bond. But he is because he knows how much money that will bring him... it's tragic really. Dalton also said once how he couldn't possibly miss it-"it's in my heart,in my blood,you go on but this keeps up with you forever"...I found that to be wonderful.. And we all know that Moore is a great ambasador for the franchise and all... but no she says how this swearing unsophisticated Shrek is the best Bond and that he is here for a long time... shivers

Update, 4:50PM: Deadline has received a new updated set of industry estimates showing Disney/Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron clocking toward the highest opening single day of all-time with $94M-$97M, blowing away previous champ 2011’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II which made $91.07M. That figure includes the $27.6M from Thursday night shows. Opening FSS for Ultron still speeding toward an all-time bow. We’re hearing as high as $217M-$220M. We’re also hearing that the pre-sales are bigger than anything that Marvel’s ever had. It’s different from Avengers two years ago because that film benefited from walk-up business.

And yet if you ask a casual movie goer they'll say Bond is charismatic,sophiscticated secret agent. That still sells tickets today. Not Craig.

That's not actually true, though, is it? Skyfall sold a lot of tickets. Audiences get the Bond they deserve.

There are a few factors that sold tickets for Skyfall. The hype,the coca-cola part of it.. every time you look around you saw a Skyfall poster. It was impossible not to know about it. Heineken commercial... but the casual moviegoer sees Bond as a charismatic,sophisticated secret agent. The Vanity Fair poll in 2012 proved that... the name "James Bond" sells... because the picture of Bond that went along for forty years is "written in the wall"

As I mentioned last week, American Pharoah won the 2015 Kentucky Derby today, under clear skies and the twin spires of Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.

Update, 11:09PM: The masses are spending their excess income elsewhere tonight, specifically $90-$100 per subscription to watch the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, which is already on course to net $400M in PPV revenue. Many across the U.S. are watching the boxing match at parties. What this means for Avengers: Age of Ultron is a lower than expected Saturday of $59M per industry estimates, a 30% decline from yesterday’s $84.46M. The first Avengers saw a Saturday dip of 14% back on May 5, 2012. Ultron‘s Sunday, per industry calculations, is looking at $47M, down 20% from Saturday (Avengers’ first Sunday took in $57.1M, down 18% from Saturday). Ultron is now tracking for a three-day opening in the neighborhood of $189M-$191M. While that’s lower than the first chapter’s all-time record domestic bow of $207.4M, it’s still the second highest opening of all-time at the domestic B.O.; just mind-blowing business.

Final Sunday Update after 8:28 AM post: If you think about it for a minute: The Avengers really did beat Ultron — at the box office, that is. Walt Disney Pictures is calling the opening weekend for Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron at $187.7M this morning, making it the second highest opening weekend of all-time at the domestic B.O., behind 2012’s Avengers $207.4M. In comparing the success between the first Avengers and Ultron, the latter clicked a significant amount of presales from fans versus the first title. This led to higher Thursday previews of $27.6M versus Avengers’ $18.7M. “There was a momentum for the brand and (fans’) urgency showed itself,” added Hollis. Ultron‘s Friday into Saturday slowed more than expected going from $84.46M to about $58.5M, due to the abundance of sporting events including the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, NBA playoffs and Kentucky Derby. This yielded 31% of Ultron’s Saturday B.O. being generated after 5PM, versus Avengers 37% two years ago. And despite that slide, it’s a pretty solid share considering yesterday’s external competition to Ultron.

Now the question becomes how high can these superheros fly? Avengers turned around a 3x multiple of its bow for a final stateside cume of $623.4M — and that’s off an A+ CinemaScore which typically carries an average 4.8x multiple. Ultron earned an A, which typically translates into a 3.6x multiple, which would put the sequel well north of $650M per that B.O. yardstick.

Of those attending Ultron‘s first weekend, men turned up at 59%, females at 41% with the majority being over 25 at 59%.

This should tell you that anybody or anything, even a robot, can be Bond. Why? Bond sells, not the actor or a thing (someday) playing him.

FBF, did you see the Avengers this weekend? I will go next Saturday.

Exactly. The name "James Bond" is the selling point. Oh,and the theme song. You couldn't miss it.
