TBD

Given all the talk about XxX destroying Bond, I was going to post a BO comparison thread once the movie opens. No way does it's opening top SF or Spectre.

Yeah, based on Thursday there are already predictions for the weekend.

And my old friend M. Night Shyamalan is making a comeback with SPLIT.

I'm motivated by my Duty.

For the record Skyfall earned 170 mil. worldwide on its first weekend while Spectre also received over 100 mil.. The reports of the Bond franchise's demise were greatly exaggerated.

Verily I say unto thee...this is grossly unfair, the Bond franchise is clearly capable of spelling its own doom with no help from anyone else.

unto thee...this is grossly unfair, the Bond franchise is clearly capable of spelling its own doom with no help from anyone else.Well, that's not what you said about HAPPY FEET, HAPPY FEET 2, WRECK'EM RALPH, MI GHOST PROTOCOL, MI ROGUE NATION, JQHN QARTER, JASON BOURNE, and many others.

But spelling was never your strong suit.
