UPDATE: “Skyfall” took in $87.8 million from Friday, making it $90 mil total since the IMAX showings on Thursday. I love Daniel Craig saying he’d like to get out of his contract or something to that effect. Very funny. He just wants a bigger cut going forward. He’ll get it. And Sam Mendes? See below that he told us he’s “considering” a return for Bond 24 and/or 25. By the time he’s done he’ll be able to fund all the productions he wants at the Donmar Warehouse.
Earlier: Yes, yes. “Skyfall” did open to $30.8 million on Friday making it the biggest opening night ever for a James Bond movie. It now has $33 million in the bank counting Thursday IMAX sales. By Sunday night, “Skyfall” could have $70 million in total or more, assuring it of its place as the number 1 Bond film of all time. Director Sam Mendes told our Leah Sydney he’s “thinking about” directing Bond 24 and 25, but after this — “Skyfall” will have more than $400 mil worldwide on Monday– I’m sure the producers will want him back for at least one of the next ones. And how about Adele? Anyway, maybe Judi Dench can be persuaded to come back, too, now that she’s a “Bond girl.”
