Well there is no question that the Bond execs felt they needed a change of Bond actors. Daylights came before Licence and Daylights was a stinkeroo. There was a long what 6 year wait after Dalton so his numbers had the gee it's been a long time factor to factor in.

I also don't think one can even compare to other films on a chart -- more kids spend money at the movies than do their parents these days as opposed to back then -- which is why more and more movies are geared to them and are a lot dumber.

Certainly the Brosnan movies have made more money no matter which way one slices it - but I also knwo they want a younger cheaper hipper Bond to appeal to the kids. Of course with all that bond knows how to do and all the knowledge he has he would have to be a minimum of 40 just to learn it all.
