I haven't seen a Bond movie since "The World is Not Enough." I think I'm still recovering from pre-reduction Denise Richards. (When she still had implants.)

The Daniel Craig run as 007 has been quite good, although Quantum of Solace and Spectre were a bit clunky (especially with regards to Blofeld). It's worth your while to bingewatch the entire series before watching No Time to Die.

Speaking of the Daniel Craig Bond movies, here is an act-by-act analysis of the screenplay for Skyfall.

I agree totally. The odd numbered Daniel Craig films were the best, the even numbered ones, not so good.

Quantum of Solace looked like it was edited by the same person who edits all those reality shows for MTV.

I give QoS a bit of a mulligan because it had to be extensively re-written pretty much on the fly by Daniel Craig and the director as a result of a writers' strike. And Craig is the first person to tell you he's not that much of a writer.

Apparently Tom Holland once pitched an idea for him to star in a "young James Bond" movie. That went over like a lead balloon with the muckety-mucks at EON Productions.

This compilation is in chronological order, so if you (like me) still haven't seen the most recent outing by 007, spoilers ahead.

So to this day, Skyfall is still the only Bond movie to break the Billion Dollar box office takings worldwide. The takings for No Time To Die stand at:

DOMESTIC (20.8%)
$160,891,007
INTERNATIONAL (79.2%)
$613,262,000
WORLDWIDE
$774,153,007

of course, the pandemic did not help.

The figures for SPECTRE were;

DOMESTIC (22.7%)
$200,074,609
INTERNATIONAL (77.3%)
$680,606,910
WORLDWIDE
$880,681,519

and finally, Skyfall...

DOMESTIC (27.5%)
$304,360,277
INTERNATIONAL (72.5%)
$804,209,222
WORLDWIDE
$1,108,569,499

Skyfall caught lightning in a bottle. Even with all of its faults, I think it's the joint best Bond movie of the Daniel Craig era (with Casino Royale). I still haven't been able to watch No Time to Die so my assessment may change once I do.

If you adjust numbers for inflation, and add things up since the movie was released, the top grossing Bond movie of all time is Thunderball.

https://www.boxofficemojo.com/chart/top_lifetime_gross_adjusted/?adjust_gross_to=2019

It's #32 on the all time list, between Black Panther and The Dark Night.

It might be domestic figures only, though.

I'd be interested in seeing past box office adjusted for inflation.

Top Bond movie in North America adjusted for inflation, Thunderball, followed by Goldfinger then Skyfall.

Yes, just domestically.
