Box office

[Jessica]

for a movie to show a profit
it has to make 3 to 4 times over the production budget

investors have to be repaid their investment plus profits

US box office is somewhere around +/-30 % of total earnings

Even if there will be no sequels, Daniel will have other projects to work on so why worry? It's not like Daniel can only work on movies like The Golden Compass. I will be very happy if Daniel goes back to make obscure independent movies.

I'd like to see him find a role (or a role to find him) that wins him an Oscar. I'd like to see his talent truly recognized and celebrated.

me too Cornell01!!!! Maybe Defiance could be such a role, but this movie is so top-secret who knows

I think next year will be succesfull for Daniel.
Bond 22 - box office, lot of photos, interviews, and premiers.
Defiance - Oscar. I like Edward Zwick's films. I like The Last Samurai, it is one on my favourite movie.
Flashback of a fool - Oscar. Critics love the independent movies and they like when daniel acts.
I think we will have a lot of work (scan, read, see, listen, buy magazines and tickets) next year.

If Daniel can't do Golden Compass sequels, I hope he would do independent movies that wins him an Oscar - how about SOME VOICES 2!

I do hope he goes back to his old roots, before he got so famous.

That's for sure....Satsuki will need to buy many many more gowns this year to keep up.

Can't wait to see much more of Daniel in his films and public appearances. 2008 is truly going to be his year! Turning 40 on March 2nd, and 3 new releases. Luck is in his favour this year.
