While MGM’s “No Time to Die” has performed strongly at the box office overseas, Daniel Craig’s final James Bond film faces a big challenge in the United States this weekend amid an increasingly crowded marketplace and the ongoing unwillingness of older moviegoers to come to theaters.
This weekend, the Bond film will be going up against the third weekend of Sony’s “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” as well as two newcomers in Universal/Blumhouse’s “Halloween Kills” and 20th Century’s “The Last Duel.” “Halloween Kills” is expected to take No. 1 with a $35-40 million opening, while “No Time to Die” is currently projected for a $24-27 million second weekend, which would be a 52-58% second weekend drop.
