Daniel Craig’s ‘No Time To Die’ Set To Make $ 60 Million In First Weekend At Box Office

The wait is over, as the 25th Bond finally hit US movie screens yesterday, bringing in $ 23.3 million in revenue, including $ 6.3 million in previews, en route for a weekend of $ 60 million in 4,407 cinemas.

This is where the follow-up spotted Daniel Craig’s Swan Song as 007, and as we’ve continually written, if Bond were to outperform, that would mean an overabundance of older (45+) moviegoers is. exit. Bond is inherently a property that is older and not younger like the Marvel properties. CNBC has brazenly and wrongly stated that No time to die was set to make $ 100 million on the national soundtrack, and that number has never been in any rival studio or in MGM / United Artist Releasing’s calculations. Even though advance ticket sales exceeded Venom: let there be carnage, in the era of the pandemic, all box office predictions have been deviated. This, in addition to the fact that in general, pandemic moviegoers make their decisions to go to the movies largely that day, not in advance.

The multiple release date changes on Bond and the publicity of the film being Craig’s last in the tuxedo certainly raised box office expectations, but understand that this was still intellectual property aimed at moviegoers. older. It wasn’t expected to be a Marvel movie, and many are looking back Fall from the sky like an anomaly, given that he’s really tapped into Bond’s past in a way that no other title in the franchise has. Rival distribution brasses cast no shadow on No time to dieopens, although it is the third best, currently behind Fall from the sky ($ 88.3M) and Spectrum ($ 70.4M); in fact, they are delighted.

“In one October when Venom 2 can open at $ 90m, then Bond at $ 60m, Halloween kills at $ 40 million, and Dune at $ 30 million +, that’s fantastic, ”a non-MGM costume told me yesterday. Again, Monday morning isn’t the time for streamers to take a victory lap: the cinema is waking up, especially after last weekend. Consider the fact this No time to diethe opening is right where Mission: Impossible – Fallout ($ 61.2M) and Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation ($ 55.5 million) opened in the United States. It’s the wheelhouse of those older spy action movies.
