Sony’s latest James Bond mission will overtake Jurassic World as the biggest UK release of 2015 today [Nov 9]; Lionsgate’s Brooklyn posts the biggest opening for an Irish film in Ireland since Michael Collins.
Sony’s latest Bond mission fell just 33% (excluding previews) on its way to a stunning $19.9m (£13.2m) for $96.5m (£64m).
At some point [Nov 9], it will overtake Jurassic World’s $96.8m (£64.2m) as the highest grossing film of 2015 to date after just 15 days in play.
That does, however, rank behind Skyfall’s second weekend of $24.3m (£16.1m) as it posted just a 20% drop, and Spectre also fell narrowly short of Skyfall’s record as the fastest film to £50m, achieving it on Thursday (Nov 5) after 11 days.
After 14 days in play though, Spectre is still tracking ahead of Skyfall which stood at $92.8m (£61.6m). Skyfallwent on to post a third weekend of $15.7m (£10.45m) and that is the benchmark Spectre has to aim for if it wants to keep pace.
It has already overtaken Daniel Craig’s previous outings as Bond in 2006’s Casino Royale ($83.8m/£55.6m) and 2008’s Quantum of Solace ($77.2m/£51.2m).
