With only three months to go before its release wouldn't a would-be blockbuster
like a new Bond film be on the top of everyone's list for the must-see film of the rest
of 2006? You would think so, but some unfortunate but revealing web site statistics
say otherwise.
Ongoing surveys on movie fan websites like The-Numbers.com and
Comingsoon.net indicate a unusual lack of interest in the new Bond film, especially
when you consider that there hasn't been a new Bond film in four years.
On The-Numbers.com there is a survey that shows which film is generating the
most interest based on visits to each movie's page on this site.
The-Numbers.com Most Popular Movies:
One click on the link above page says it all. Out of 100 hundred current and future
releases, as recent as Miami Vice, as near as the sixth Rocky sequel Rocky Balboa
in December and as far-flung as Indiana Jones 4 possibly due in 2007, Casino
Royale is nowhere to be found! How can that be? This is James Bond right? Well it
just gets worse.
ComingSoon.net Top Previews:
Here again we have 25 films listed and whether they are familiar names of movie
sequels or all new films, Casino Royale is not one them.

Whether you're a Craig supporter or a boycotter, you have to admit that this is a
disturbing trend, and if you think that Daniel Craig as Bond has nothing to do with
it, it's time to wake up and smell the dry vodka martini.
