Bond film is posting the best overseas launch without China since theaters reopened
“Venom: Let There Be Carnage” may be devouring the U.S. box office, but the world belongs to Bond. MGM/Universal’s “No Time to Die” finally arrived in 54 countries this weekend and grossed $119 million, the best launch for a film since the pandemic began without China included. Of course, the biggest market for the film is Bond’s homeland of the UK, where the film has set a pandemic era record with an estimated $34.8 million 4-day opening from 772 locations, the country’s widest release ever. It stands as the highest post-shutdown release in the country after just one weekend in theaters and ranks sixth on the all-time UK opening weekend charts.
