‘Spectre’ $70.4M Opening: Still 2nd Highest 007 Debut Behind ‘Skyfall’, But Not That Far From ‘Quantum Of Solace’ – Monday AM

As many predicted, Spectre did not come in at the $73M that Sony reported yesterday, rather lower at $70.4M per their reported actual today. While that opening weekend figure is still the second highest for a 007 title behind Skyfall, one can’t help but notice that Spectre‘s debut is $20.4M less than its predecessor (which made $90.6M including previews) and it’s $2.7M higher than Quantum of Solace. Really, nobody was expecting it to be that low.

Spectre had Peanuts beat in that regard winning over 35% of adults over 50 (to Charlie Brown’s 10%) and 78% over 25 (to 54% over 25).
