This weekend we saw the final Daniel Craig-starring Jams Bond film, Spectre. The film had a massive $250million price tag, but managed to premiere at #1 with $73million. Combine that with it’s overseas earnings, and the movie has already exceeded $300million in two weeks. This puts Spectre in front of Skyfall’s tally at this time two years ago. That film went on to make over $1billion at the Box Office.
The other big win of the weekend was The Peanuts Movie. The film has earned the #2 spot and took in $45million over the weekend. This pretty much ensures that there will be sequels, and though I haven’t seen the movie yet, I think that’s just fantastic. The rest of the Top Ten is below.
1. SPECTRE $73 million
2. The Peanuts Movie $45 million
3. The Martian $9.3 million
4. Goosebumps $7 million
5. Bridge of Spies $6.1 million
6. Hotel Transylvania $3.6 million
7. Burnt $3 million
8. The Last Witch Hunter $2.7 million
9. The Intern $1.8 million
10. Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension $1.7 million
Bond will have no problem staying on top next weekend, as there’s really no competition coming his way. The next big film premiere is Mockingjay, Part 2 on November 20th, which we all know will destroy the Box Office. Until, we’ll have to wait til the next edition of Weekend Roundup to see just how much Spectre will bring in next week!
