‘Skyfall’ becomes the first 007 James Bond movie to beat $1 billion at the global box office with China still to come.

Jonathan Stuart-Brown for Save The British Film Industry.

‘Skyfall’ has now passed $1 billion worldwide at the global box office and the China release is still to come.

The total box office take will probably end up as USA $300 million, rest of the world $900 million of which the UK will probably end up providing $170 million.

Love it or hate it, you can not ignore the box office prowess of the 007 brandname (even if this was more of an action film than 007 film).

The UK box office and UK DVD revenue plus TV, online and merchandising can yield over $300 million and thus finance almost any budget movie provided that the producer can get the movie into UK cinemas. This is not so easy and Jonathan Gems is the man to read about this. The UK is the only cinema market in the world which does not defend domestic invested product.  All the profit from 007 Skyfall will be leaving the UK. It is not being recycled here. The 007 owners could choose to make future 007 movies outside the UK, and other than a few actors, there is no certainty that this 50 year brandname will ever employ British based workers again.

Still this is a time to celebrate The Birth of Jesus Christ, who created the world and then entered His own Creation to rescue it. Creating the world is real creativity.

May God bless your CHRISTmas and give you and your families peace, joy, kindness, protection, happiness, mirth, fun, laughter, hope, faith and love.

God rest you merry, gentlemen,

Let nothing you dismay.

For Jesus Christ our Savior,

Was born on Christmas Day;

To save us all from Satan’s power,

When we were gone astray.


O tidings of comfort and joy,

For Jesus Christ our Savior

Was born on Christmas day.


In Bethlehem, in Jury,

This blessed Babe was born,

And laid within a manger,

Upon this blessed morn;

The which His mother Mary

Did nothing take in scorn.


O tidings of comfort and joy,

For Jesus Christ our Savior

Was born on Christmas day.


From God our heavenly Father,

A blessed angel came.

And unto certain shepherds,

Brought tidings of the same,

How that in Bethlehem was born,

The Son of God by name:


O tidings of comfort and joy,

For Jesus Christ our Savior

Was born on Christmas day.


Fear not, then said the angel,

Let nothing you affright,

This day is born a Savior,

Of virtue, power, and might;

So frequently to vanquish all,

The friends of Satan quite;


O tidings of comfort and joy,

For Jesus Christ our Savior

Was born on Christmas day.


The shepherds at those tidings,

Rejoiced much in mind,

And left their flocks a feeding,

In tempest, storm, and wind,

And went to Bethlehem straightway,

This blessed Babe to find:


O tidings of comfort and joy,

For Jesus Christ our Savior

Was born on Christmas day.


But when to Bethlehem they came,

Whereas this Infant lay

They found him in a manger,

Where oxen feed on hay;

His mother Mary kneeling,

Unto the Lord did pray:


O tidings of comfort and joy,

For Jesus Christ our Savior

Was born on Christmas day.


With sudden joy and gladness

The shepherds were beguiled,

To see the Babe of Israel,

Before His mother mild,

O then with joy and cheerfulnes

Rejoice, each mother’s child.


O tidings of comfort and joy,

For Jesus Christ our Savior

Was born on Christmas day.


Now to the Lord sing praises,

All you within this place,

And with true love and brotherhood,

Each other now embrace;

This holy tide of Christmas,

Doth bring redeeming grace.


O tidings of comfort and joy,

For Jesus Christ our Savior

Was born on Christmas day.


God bless the ruler of this house

And send him long to reign,

And many a merry Christmas

May live to see again;

Among your friends and kindred

That live both far and near.


O tidings of comfort and joy,

For Jesus Christ our Savior

Was born on Christmas day.

Please please please pray for the peace, protection and prosperity of Jerusalem and all of Israel.
