Following its gross of $121 million last weekend after launching in some overseas markets, Daniel Craig’s fifth and final James Bond outing with “No Time to Die” is expected to do even better this coming weekend at the box-office.
With the film set to launch in the United States and most of the remaining world on Friday, and with last weekend’s markets still going strong, the 007 feature is expected to rake in around $90 million overseas and at least $60 million domestically according to conservative projections.
Should the film over index in the way that “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” did last weekend, then that number could easily shoot up and would put the $88 million U.S. domestic opening weekend of “Skyfall” in its crosshairs.
Buoyed by mostly positive reviews, along with plenty of awareness thanks to multiple delays and tons of marketing spend, the film will face a challenge in that Bond’s fanbase is largely older white adults who have been the most cautious about returning to the multiplex. That said, with the film being an exclusive theatrical release it doesn’t offer a ‘stay home’ option for those keen to see it.
Only two other markets are getting “No Time to Die” later with China receiving it on October 29th while Australia will get it on November 11th.
