Two weeks ago, Spectre acheived the highest UK debut for a Bond movie all time. While it hasn't quite reached those dizzying heights across the pond, it's certainly made some great business this weekend. Per Box Office Mojo, Sam Mendes' second 007 flick opened to the tune of $73 million, placing it just below his first, Skyfall, which grossed a whopping $88.4 million back in 2012.
More success is on the way, with the movie unlikely to meet any major competition until Mockingjay - Part 2 opens November 20. Meanwhile, Bond wasn't the only classic character to shine this weekend. The Peanuts Movie came in with a more than respectable $45 million, leaving the rest of their competitors in the dust. Here are the top 5 highest grossing movies domestically:
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
With Spectre still outperforming Skyfall in the UK, there's a small chance it may follow its predecessor into that exclusive 'billion club' by the end of its run. Do you think it's possible, or will it fall just shy? What did you think of Spectre and/or The Peanuts Movie? Sound off below!
