The last Bond film with an opening weekend domestic gross below $60 million was Casino Royale in 2006 - which (due to it and Happy Feet cannibalizing each other's opening weekend returns) opened to roughly $6 million less than 2002's Die Another Day. Skyfall, and its $88 million opening weekend, remains the Bond film to beat when it comes to opening weekends - though it is worth noting that Skyfall had the power of a cameo at the 2012 Summer Olympics and an aggressive "50 years of James Bond" marketing machine behind it at the time.Many possibilities have been suggested for why NTTD merely met its opening weekend expectations rather than exceeded them - including the mixed critical reception for Spectre (note that the film still had an A- Cinemascore nonetheless), moviegoers skipping NTTD due to not having seen the previous Bond films starring Daniel Craig, NTTD's long runtime competing against Venom: Let There Be Carnage's short runtime, and the long-term issue of Bond failing to attract moviegoers under 35. That being said, the film is performing admirably in international markets; after crossing the $100 million threshold last weekend, it crossed the $300 million threshold worldwide this weekend - and NTTD still has two major markets (China and Australia) in which it hasn't been released yet. All this is to say it remains to be seen whether No Time To Die will have box office legs as impressive as Ana de Armas' legs.Surely you didn't read this writeup just to watch an Ana de Armas GIF play over and over again? That's what I thought.

This second weekend drop is consistent with the declines observed by other 2021 films such as F9 and Black Widow, which both saw second weekend declines of 67-68% - but is "worse" than the 54-56% second weekend drops seen by films such as Shang-Chi and the first Venom film.Films Reddit Wants to FollowThis is a segment where we keep a weekly tally of currently showing films that aren't in the Top 5 that fellow redditors want updates on.
