Charles Gant's Guardian Blog on UK Box Office gives good number crunching on Spectre.

Posted by LMS (aka RufusS) Nov 4 '15, 09:13

In short it did 10% better than Skyfall but not as good if you adjust for ticket price inflation.

- Skyfall adjusted to $239m, if US box office matches UK it would adjust up, but who knows. - LMS Nov 4, 09:26 19
  - I would be totally ok if James Bond movies just went away. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 4, 09:29 18

        I guess the same could be said for Master Chief, then. -- nm - Spawn Nov 4, 09:35 12
        
        well, movies like the Borne series and even MI series have made Bond boring. - groiny Nov 4, 09:38 11
        
        What's boring about watching Bond playing cards for 20 minutes? -- nm - LMS Nov 4, 09:43 10
        
        Daniel Craig. -- nm - David Nov 4, 10:10
        
        Wouldn't have been too boring if they hadn't dumbed it down for the audience. - Will Hunting Nov 4, 09:47 2
        
        They would have lost way more people by not dumbing it down. As it is, that part was way too long for people not into poker. -- nm - zork Nov 4, 09:53
        
        Especially considering he donked out holding a suited 5-7. -- nm - Shaun Nov 4, 09:49

        MI & Bourne don't try to be sexy. Bond has the style. - Will Hunting Nov 4, 09:49 4
        
        Bourne is "I'm going to secret agent the SHIT out of this" -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 10:02 1
        
        I like the description that Bourne is the shark in a turbulent sea. - Will Hunting Nov 4, 10:05
        
        this is a good explanation of them all -- nm - Pippy Nov 4, 09:59
        
        The fist fight in Ultimatum is pure awesome. -- nm - Shaun Nov 4, 09:57
- No, that is exactly the tick better I mentioned. -- nm - Spawn Nov 4, 09:18
