Nah it makes no sense to assume the movie will make zero $. Universal is probably betting it will at least break even and I would agree.

Actors like Damon pay taxes, are American citizens and have just as much right to express their freedom of speech as any of us.

+1. I am not a huge Bond fan but like the movies. The character has gotten a bit tiresome over the years. Anyway, I think his explanation on why HE does not like Bond makes perfect sense. He is not slamming those who are Bond fans. Also, don't blame him for being outspoken, blame the press for putting it everywhere. Oh yeah you can blame yourself and your peers since that's who eats the stuff up..
