MGM, EON and Universal’s new James Bond entry “No Time to Die” is about to begin its rollout at the international box office with the UK, Brazil, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Spain and Korea among the more than fifty international markets getting the film this weekend.
Even without the U.S. (October 8th), China (October 29th) or Australia (November 11th) getting it just yet, industry projections have the film set to pull in $90 million this session – a number that could climb in coming days.
In like-for-like comparisons for those markets and those days, “Skyfall” snagged $109 million, “Spectre” was at $123 million, and more recently “F9: The Fast Saga” pulled in $69.5 million.
This fifth and final outing of Daniel Craig in the role arrives approximately eighteen months after it was originally slated to debut and is expected to have the biggest opening at cinemas since late pre-pandemic times.
That’s even with the film being saddled with a lengthy 160 minute runtime which will limit session numbers. The film’s world premiere is underway at London’s Royal Albert Hall with a flood of reviews incoming imminently.
