Official Eon James Bond Film Series
The Eon Productions James Bond film series includes 25 official films released from Dr. No in 1962 to No Time to Die in 2021, with the franchise based on Ian Fleming's novels and managed by Eon Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and Amazon MGM Studios. The series has generated more than 7 billion USD in global box office revenue across its run, making it one of the longest-running and highest-grossing film franchises in cinema history. For an official overview of the series timeline and production details, you can refer to the MGM Studios official page about the James Bond franchise.
The 25 films are distributed across multiple actors and production eras, starting with Sean Connery and continuing through Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig, with the most recent entry, No Time to Die, marking the end of the Craig era under the direction of Cary Joji Fukunaga. The franchise has been produced by Eon Productions in partnership with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and United Artists Releasing, and since 2022, Amazon MGM Studios has taken a leading role in the distribution and future development of the series, as detailed in Amazon's official announcement about its investment in the James Bond franchise.
Box Office and Production Data
By worldwide box office, the highest-grossing James Bond films include Skyfall, which earned over 1.1 billion USD, Spectre, which grossed more than 880 million USD, and No Time to Die, which surpassed 770 million USD, with all figures based on reported totals from industry tracking sources. The lowest-grossing entries in the official series include Never Say Never Again, which is a non-Eon production and not part of the official list of all James Bond movies, and early films such as Dr. No and From Russia with Love, which earned less than 100 million USD in their original releases.
Production budgets for the Eon James Bond films have risen over time, with recent entries such as Spectre and No Time to Die reported to have budgets exceeding 200 million USD each, reflecting the high production values, global locations, and extensive visual effects used in the series. The films are typically financed through a combination of studio funding, international pre-sales, and co-production arrangements, with Amazon MGM Studios now playing a central role in funding and distribution, as outlined in Amazon's official corporate information about its MGM acquisition and content strategy.
Key Companies, Dates, and Franchise Status
The James Bond film rights were originally held by United Artists, later transferred to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and are now managed under the Amazon MGM Studios umbrella following Amazon's completion of its acquisition of MGM, a transaction documented in Amazon's official press release about the deal and its impact on the James Bond franchise. The films are produced by Eon Productions, founded by Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, and currently led by the Broccoli family, with Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson serving as producers for the most recent entries.
As of the latest public data, the official list of all James Bond movies includes 25 Eon-produced films, with the next film in development being overseen by Amazon MGM Studios and Eon Productions, though no release date has been officially confirmed beyond the continuation of the franchise under the new production structure. The series remains one of the most valuable intellectual property portfolios in global entertainment, with the films continuing to generate revenue through theatrical releases, home entertainment, licensing, and streaming platforms.
