At times fictional superspy 007 seems to be bullet-proof. The new James Bond film "Quantum of Solace" may prove critic-and recession-proof too when it hits cinemas this week and U.S. theatres on November 14, box office trackers predict.The second Bond movie with Daniel Craig as the suave secret agent is expected to build on the success of 2006's "Casino Royale," despite economic pressures on movie-goers and agreement among critics that the earlier film was comfortably the better.
"Quantum of Solace is one of the few event pictures left in the year," said Brandon Grey, president of Box Office Mojo.
"People responded very well to Casino Royale, and I think people's affinity for Casino Royale will drive Quantum of Solace to a terrific opening," he told Reuters.
Jack Warner, who covers the box office for Screen International, agreed.
"Bond is a very strong brand to build on," he said. "No one expects a sequel to do less well than the one before it. Casino Royale went down well critically and with audiences, and they will be looking to break that figure."

Can't wait for the new film, I'm a huge James Bond fan, though the missing line that is "The names bond james bond" still strikes deep.
