22. Licence to Kill- $80.1 Million

There were 5 Sean Connery films that made well over $200 Million, and each of his films (all 6) made over $165 Million and above.  He had the most successful box office run out of all the Bond's.
Sadly, there were some disappointing box office runs during Roger Moore (The Man with the Golden Gun) and Timothy Dalton (Licence to Kill).  21 of the Bond films made over $100 Million and more (all but one of the films).  12 of the Bond films made over $200 Million and 3 Made it over $300 Million and 2 Made it over $500 Million and $400 Million and 1 Film made it over $600 Million.  The Bond series has seen many ups and downs, so the next Bond film that will be released could have a HIGH box office run and make over $200 Million.

SEAN CONNERY as James Bond 007:

1. Thunderball (1965)- $654.6 Million
2. Goldfinger (1964)- $580.1 Million
3. You Only Live Twice (1967)- $315.8 Million
4. From Russia with Love (1963)- $234.5 Million
5. Diamonds are Forever (1971)- $231.8 Million
6. Dr. No (1962)- $167.1 Million

*It is easy to say that Connery's films were the most popular as he set the role.  No one could see anyone else playing Bond.  All but one of his films made over $200 Million (and oddly enough the first of his films was the one that made the least, but it is what got him introduced and started with the major film series).  

GEORGE LAZENBY as James Bond 007:

1. On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)- $141.2 Million

*With only one film, Lazenby would have struck gold if he would have stayed with the role, regardless of this film not making a ton, but it did push over $100 and almost broke the $150 Million mark.

ROGER MOORE as James Bond 007:

1. Moonraker (1979)- $245.8 Million
2. Octopussy (1983)- $190.2 Million
3. The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)- $184.6 Million
4. Live and Let Die (1973)- $175.8 Million
5. For Your Eyes Only (1981)- $172.3 Million
6. A View to a Kill (1985)- $124.4 Million
7. The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)- $100.2 Million

*With a "moore" adventure styled films, Moore's did very well with each one of his films making over $100 Million and one major one that made well over $200 and almost hit $200.  He was and is considered the "pretty boy" Bond and the comedy Bond, which could be why his films didn't each make it over $200 Million.  But he did have a lot of success.

TIMOTHY DALTON as James Bond 007:

1. The Living Daylights (1987)- $115.2 Million
2. Licence to Kill (1989)- $80.1 Million

*Dalton's films had moderate success, and The Living Daylights hit high with teenagers in the 80s, but Licence to Kill was an undershot.

PIERCE BROSNAN as James Bond 007:

1. Die Another Day (2002)- $241.5 Million
2. Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)- $236.2 Million
3. The World is Not Enough (1999)- $217.1 Million
4. GoldenEye (1995)- $215.4 Million

*Each Brosnan film made over $200 Million and GoldenEye brought Bond back to his roots and also brought Bond back into popularity in the 90s.  

DANIEL CRAIG as James Bond 007:

1. Casino Royale (2006)- $223.1 Million
2. Quantum of Solace (2008)- $204.7 Million
3. Skyfall (2012)- $210 Million to $265 Million (guess and estimate)  
4. Bond 24 (2014)- $unknown (he will be appearing in this film)
5. Bond 25 (2016)- $unknown (only a possible film he will star in)
6. Bond 26 (2018)- $unknown (only a possible film he will star in)
7. Bond 27 (2020)- $unknown (only a possible film he will star in)

*each Craig film made over $200 Million and Casino Royale boosted Bond up to Popularity once again!  Plus Craig is slated to be playing Bond until they tell him he is too old, which means he is signed up for Bond 24 and 25, plus 26.
