Here is a Pie Chart that compares the most recent films in the series of:
Bourne (Bourne Legacy-universal pictures) Mission Impossible (Ghost Protocol-Paramount and Skydance) James bond (Quantum of Solace-Eon productions)

Gross Worldwide
$115,262,719, 8% Bourne Legacy $575,952,505, 42% Mission Imposible James Bond

$693,054,071, 50%

From this chart you can see that Mission Impossible leads the spy genre in the most recent films however the new James Bond (SKYFALL) is yet to be released and Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol had a massive success using Tom Cruise as a tool to attract audiences (Dyers star theorem). It cannot be denied however that James Bond is a massive franchise with great success globally.

Within the UK
The top-tier of film production companies comprise about 15 outfits. They are companies that make one or two films a year some of which, like The Kings Speech or Slumdog Millionaire, become global phenomena. Those companies are: Aardman, Big Talk Pictures, Cloud Eight, DNA, Ealing Studios, Ecosse Films, Heyday, Hammer, Number 9, Recorded Picture Company, Revolution, Ruby Films, Seesaw and Vertigo. Eon productions do not come under the top tier as they limit themselves to one franchise, distributing only one film every couple of years. Some would even argue that Eon is not even a UK film company as it is predominantly American based, Barbara Broccoli is even based there too.
