17th. The World is Not Enough: $685.3 million (£542m)

In 1999's The World Is Not Enough, Pierce Brosnan reprised his role as the spy extraordinaire for the third time.

The film, directed by Michael Apted, was a commercial success, grossing  $361.7 million worldwide – the equivalent of $685.3 million (£542m) today.

However, it was less of a hit with critics and is now regarded as the worst Brosnan Bond movie. Reviewers were particularly scathing of Denise Richards' performance as nuclear scientist Dr Christmas Jones, calling her acting unbelievable.
