Casino Royale At The Box-Office
21st November 2006 - 28th April 2008
Casino Royale romped away with the #1 spot at all 27
international box-offices on opening weekend, but narrowly
failed to
scoop the illustrious top-spot in the USA. In its second
week of
release, the film was #1 in 40 out of 50 countries, but
again missed out on the top position in the USA.
The film taken over 2002's "Die Another
Day" record as
the most successful Bond film at the box-office. |

Keeping The British End Up
Variety reports
that the UK enjoyed a record-breaking opening for Bond.
Driven by very strong reviews and positive buzz surrounding
the gritty performance of Daniel Craig, Bond had a sensational
opening in Britain, taking $25,355,355 at 988 screens
(£13.37 million). This included Thursday previews
of $3,696,398 (£1.7 million) - shattering the existing
box office record for the debut night of a new James
Bond adventure. The last Bond film, Die Another Day,
took £1.1 million on its opening night in November
2002.
The $21,658,957 three-day opening figure
was the third biggest opening in U.K. box office history - trailing
only "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" in
2006 and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" in
2005. The four-day opening easily smashed the record for
a Bond opening in the U.K. Pierce Brosnan's final outing
as 007 in "Die
Another Day" took $17.2 million (£9.1 million)
in its first five days on release in 2002.
"We are delighted the U.K. has had
record-breaking results over the weekend... and we are
very grateful
for the support and goodwill of the British public to the
new film and most especially towards Daniel Craig," said
producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. |
Week 2 - Casino Royale's best country per capita
continued to be the United Kingdom, where
it had a sensational $16.3 million second
weekend.
It was only down 25 percent on its opening weekend total, holding
better than James Bond's previous outings including, GoldenEye,
The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day, which each fell
over 31 percent. With $53.3 million in the till, it
will likely surpass the previous Bond, Die Another Day, by
next weekend.
Week 3 - Casino Royale remained at the top
spot at the UK box-office, pulling in $14,710,452 over the week
in 506 venues (an estimated $10.5m of which was at the weekend),
bringing the total UK haul so far to $77,623,116. Casino Royale
has already
become
the second
highest
grossing
movie of the year in the UK.
Week 4 - Casino Royale remained at the #1 spot
in the UK for the fourth consecutive week since release. The
film took $5.43 million over its fourth weekend, bringing the
UK haul to . The film fell from the top spot to Happy Feet after
the weekend.
Week 5 - Casino Royale secured
third place despite some new releases with a $2.9 million sixth-weekend.
Daniel Craig's debut as James Bond opened huge and has now banked
an impressive $82.5 million, well clear of previous Bond
franchise best performer "Die Another Day" in 2002,
which finished up with $69.6 million. Bookers forecast a $98
million final UK cume for "Casino Royale," which is
expected to play well over the Christmas holiday season and into
January.
Week 6 - Jumping up to second place at the UK
box-office during Christmas week, Casino Royale took $4,627,589
over 428 engagements.
Week 7 - Casino Royale jumped up 6% thanks to
a good performance through the holiday season, taking $4,915,759
over 377 engagements, finishing #3 at the UK box-office for the
week. The film's cume stands at a tantalising $99,338,848.
Week 8 - Casino Royale finished
at #4 after eight weeks on release and a 40% dip in takings,
bringing
in $2,922,022 from
334 engagements. The film's cume broke into 9 figures for the
first time for a Bond film in the UK, with a total of $100,850,441.
Over the past 5 weeks, Bond's box-office rival in the USA - "Happy
Feet" - came and went with a total run of only $31,922,341 to
date in the UK.
US Box-Office
In the USA, Bond was defeated to the #1 spot by "Happy Feet", an animated
film about dancing penguins. With the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend approaching,
the kid-friendly film was shown at more theatres, and due to its much shorter
running time, had more screenings per day than Bond.
According to BoxOfficeMojo,
Happy Feet waddled to $41.5 million from around 5,600 screens
at 3,804 sites, including around $2.4 million from 79 IMAX
sites over the three-day weekend totals.
Casino Royale rolled $40.8 million from 5,100 screens
at 3,434 locations, the James Bond franchise still sharp
after a four-year hiatus and change in personnel and direction.
Distributor Sony said that the audience was 55 percent
male and 57 percent over 25.
Casino Royale was the #1 film in the USA
on Friday, when it opened with $14,741,135 compared to Happy
Feet's $12,257,221.
Week 2 - Casino Royale
scooped $30,785,874 over the Thanksgiving four-day weekend,
but failed to take the #1 spot off "Happy Feet",
which took $37,038,046 over the holiday.
With $94.1 million
in 10 days and retaining all 3434 theatres, Casino Royale
has sold nine percent more tickets than GoldenEye, the
last Bond outing to usher in a new actor, through the same
point.
Week 3 - Casino Royale collected $15.1 million
for $115.9 million in 17 days, and it matched GoldenEye's
third weekend drop of 51 percent and held better than The
World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day among the previous
Thanksgiving-oriented James Bond pictures.
In terms of attendance,
Casino still trails the last three Bonds, though it is
gaining on them and continues to track ahead of GoldenEye,
which
as the previous franchise reboot is the most apt comparison
for Casino.
Week 4 - Casino Royale retreated 41 percent
to $8.9 million for $129 million in 24 days. The drop was
in line with the last four James Bond movies at the same
point.
Week 5 - Casino Royale
is on the heels of Die Another Day in raw grosses. After
another decent hold, down 37 percent to $5.6 million, Casino's
tallied $137.5 million compared to Die's $138.5 million through
the same point, though Casino still trails both Die and Tomorrow
Never Dies in attendance by a likely insurmountable margin.
Casino Royale dropped to #8 at the US box-office for the
week, mostly due to the number of new releases. It went in
to its fifth week of release in North America across 2,437
theaters in the USA & Canada -
a drop of 724 venues. This reduction was not unexpected,
and is less that 007's previous outing "Die Another
Day" which
lost 1,302 theaters on its fifth weekend - playing at only
2,075 venues
and grossing $4,030,346 for the week.
Week 6 - Dropping from #8 to #11, Casino
Royale took $3,143,720 over the holiday weekend over 1,588
theatres,
bringing the
US
total to $143,713,120.
Week 7 - Casino Royale
dropped a place to #12 on its seventh weekend on release,
taking an impressive $6,014,342 over the New Year at
1,543 theatres, a leap of 91.3% compared to Christmas weekend.
Week 8 - Casino Royale
piled on another $3,002,507 in its eighth weekend on release
in 1,266 theatres.
The total take of $159,837,718 now approaches "Die Another
Day's" record of $160,942,139.

Around The World With 007
Weekend Commencing 15th November (Week 1) - Overseas,
007 was #1 in all 27 countries where it opened, earning $42.2
million from the UK, Russia, India
and
small
territories
in the Mideast and Asia. Worldwide, Casino Royale took in $84,241,042
on opening weekends. That's 70% higher than the previous Die Another
Day in 2002 and by far the biggest Bond ever.
"Casino
Royale" biz was also
buoyant in Russia - where
it took $3.8 million at 633 screens. It set
a record in India with $3.2 million at 427 screens, beating "Spider-Man
2"s opening by 87% for biggest debut of a non-Indian film.
Greece led the rest of the "Casino" territories with
$1.34 million at 111, followed by Thailand with $1.1 million at
154, Taiwan with
$1 million at 116, Singapore with $900,000, Malaysia with $800,000,
Poland with $735,000 and the UAE with $635,000 -- the second largest
launch in that market.
Weekend Commencing 22nd November (Week
2) -
James Bond's latest mission opened in 18 countries in Europe,
where it's now playing everywhere but Italy, and dominated each
one. Germany was the top start with $12.5 million from 1,180
screens. That was a franchise high, and Casino Royale accomplished
the same feat in France ($9 million from 792 screens), Spain
($3.8 million from 500) and Denmark ($2.6 million from 101).
Stellar debuts were also recorded in Austria ($1.7 million),
the Netherlands ($1.7 million), Norway ($1.8 million), Sweden
($2.3 million) and Switzerland ($2.9 million) - reports Box
Office Mojo.
Other holdovers weren't as sterling but were
strong nonetheless, including Indonesia (down 23 percent for
a $1.4 million
total), Malaysia (down 37 percent for $1.6 million), Turkey (down
40 percent for $911,591) and Greece (down 38 percent for $2.8
million). In both India and Russia, it tumbled over 55 percent
falls, but
that was expected considering its high totals, at $6.6 and $8.4
million respectively.
Casino Royale now looks like the biggest Bond
ever worldwide, moving up from $82.8m globally last weekend
to $222m its second weekend. With many major foreign territories
still to go, including Japan, Korea, Italy and Australia, box-office
gurus say Daniel Craig will easily blow past the biggest grosser
in the Pierce Brosnan series, 2002's Die Another Day,
and its $432 mil global take. Estimate is for Casino Royale to
make as much as $575 mil globally.
Weekend Commencing 1st December (Week
3 )- Spending
its third weekend atop the foreign box office, Casino Royale
earned $43.7 million from 55 territories, pushing its total to
a smashing $195.6 million. Given the far-reaching appeal of James
Bond and the lack of significant direct competition, the franchise's
21st installment is poised to lead for several more weeks—December's
only worldwide launch will be Eragon.
Debuting in Japan, Casino Royale stumbled a bit, making $3.2
million from 443 screens for second place in the market. It was
shy of Die Another Day's opening, even though Casino has generally
crushed that movie's start elsewhere. Casino's other openings
were more in line with its previous potency, including Kenya's
$59,403 from 8 screens, Nigeria's $44,016 from 4 and South Africa's
$508,899 from 77.
Casino Royale's hefty tallies
include Germany's $24.2 million ($10,135,944 from the second
week of release across 854 venues), France's $15.6 million and
Russia's $9.6 million, but it has been particularly
impressive
in Scandinavia.
Denmark, Norway and Sweden added more than $1 million each
for the weekend for respective totals of $5.5 million, $3.7 million
and $5.1 million. In Finland, Casino is even running ahead
of
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King's mark through
the same point with $2.1 million.
Weekend Commencing 8th December (Week
4) -
Casino Royale topped the foreign box office for the fourth weekend
in a row,
claiming
$35.5 million from 64 territories for a $246.5 million total.
James Bond's newest adventure hit ten new markets, setting franchise
records in each one, though its highest-grossing country was
still the United Kingdom at $5.43 million.
Australia and New Zealand were Casino Royale's
best new markets with $5.41 million and $836,778 respectively.
First-day grosses in Oz of $1.15 million at 405 playdates represented
the best opening day for a Bond film in that market. Latin America,
where Bond isn't as potent, wasn't as impressive. In Mexico,
Casino Royale managed $1.5 million from 564 screens in Mexico,
while it grossed $314,002 in Argentina and $320,589 in Colombia.
In addition to the U.K., Casino's solid holds included Germany's
36 percent drop (for a $31.3 million total), Denmark's 29 percent
drop (for $7.5 million) and the Netherlands' 21 percent drop
(for $4.8 million).
Weekend Commencing 15th December (Week
5) - Falling
to second place overall but holding the top spot in over 13 markets
was Casino Royale. The weekend marked the first
frame in five in which the foreign box office wasn't topped by "Casino
Royale," which
showed impressive holdover power in leading the rest of the pack
with $20.4 million at 7,090 in 64 markets for a $279.7 million
total - surpassing Die Another
Day to become Bond's highest foreign grosser yet.
Casino had two No. 1 debuts: Brazil's $1.3 million
at 361 venues and Uruguay's $18,133. More impressive, though,
was the picture's remarkable
five-week totals in Denmark ($8.8 million), Germany ($35.7 million),
Finland ($3.4 million) and Spain ($10.4 million). Germany posted
the top figure, with $3.2 million at 1,070 in its fourth
frame, followed
by the U.K. with $2.95 million at 793 in its fifth weekend
for an $85 million Brit cume. "Casino" posted 44% declines
in Australia with $2.9 million at 401 in its soph sesh and in
France with $1.6 million
at 680 in its fourth frame.
Casino Royale slipped from the #1 spot in
Canada for the first time since the film went on general release
in the country on November 17th 2006. Daniel Craig's debut outing
went straight in at #1 at the Canadian box-office and remained
there until this week, when it slipped
to #3. The 21st James Bond film's performance in Canada has been
stunning, holding on to #1 for four consecutive weeks. It has
taken over
$18 million CAD to date.
#1 $5,236,603 - Weekend of November 17,
2006
#1 $3,310,016 - Weekend of November 24, 2006 ($10,912,497)
#1 $2,359,328 - Weekend of December 1, 2006 ($14,588,754)
#1 $1,444,475 - Weekend of December 8, 2006 ($16,865,079)
#3 $993,068 - Weekend of December 15, 2006 ($18,520,481)
With Italy and South Korea yet to open, "Casino" is
already the biggest Bond pic overseas, with $280.3 million, topping "Die
Another Day" by $9 million, and has cumed $418 million worldwide
-- only $13 million short of "Die."
Weekend Commencing 22nd December (Week
6) - "Casino Royale" shot past the worldwide
record for a James Bond movie, thanks mostly to strong international
performance
over the Christmas holiday weekend. Sony's "Casino" cashed
in overseas with $15.4
million at 6,300 during the weekend, then added $4 million more
on Christmas Day to push foreign cume to $309.3 million -- the
41st biggest international gross of all time. It's only the fourth
2006 pic to clear $300 million,
joining "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," "The
Da Vinci Code" and "Ice Age: The Meltdown." With
domestic gross near $144 million, "Casino" has
a worldwide total of $448 million -- $17 million better than "Die
Another Day," the previous best Bond performer. It opened
solidly in South Korea with $2.3 million at 350. New openings for
Casino Royale included South Korea, with $3.8 million at 347,
and in Hong Kong, with $1.3 million at 105. "Casino Royale" became
the 5th top grossing film in Germany during 2006. "Casino
Royale" continued to perform in France, bringing the nation's
cume to $18 million.
Weekend Commencing 29th December (Week
7) - Grabbing an estimated $15.8 million from 70 territories,
Casino Royale fell to fifth place and pushed its total up to $337
million. Over the holiday weekend, the James Bond picture played
best in the U.K., grossing $2.8 million in its seventh weekend,
up 40 percent for a phenomenal $94.7 million total. It surged
15 percent in Australia to $2.2 million for an excellent $17.2
million total, but has disappointed in South Korea, where it
tumbled nearly 50 percent in its second weekend for a $5.5
million tally.
Weekend Commencing 5th January (Week
8) - Casino Royale surged to $17.8 million over the weekend
for a $371.2 million total, reinvigorated by Italy. Ranking first,
the new James Bond opened to a potent $4.4 million from 425
screens, bettering Superman Returns and Mission: Impossible
III. Remarkably, Casino still made more than $2 million in
both Germany and the U.K. for respective market tallies of
$46.6 million and $98.9 million. Soon, it will become only
the third movie in the U.K.'s history to gross more than $100
million, joining Titanic and The Lord of the Rings: The Return
of the King.
