The new movieNo Time to Diedebuted at number one this weekend after bringing in $56 million. The latest installment in theJames Bondfranchise came in slightly below initial projections domestically, which was still enough to bring its global total to $313.2 million.No Time to Dieis a success in terms of pandemic box office revenue, but the long-delayed movie comes with a $250 million production budget and a budget of at least $10 million in advertising, with added costs thrown in for the long delay. The movie, which features Daniel Craig’s last performance as 007, was initially supposed to open in theaters back in April 2020.
Analysts believe thatNo Time to Diewill need to gross $800 million globally to turn a profit. However, it is believed that some marketing push from promotional tie-ins will help soften a potential loss. When looking at the domestic haul, there are more than a few factors working against the movie. First is the pandemic. Many individuals in older demographics are hesitant to go sit in a movie theater, with assumptions that theaters potentially could have been packed during the opening weekend. Another large factor is thenearly three-hour runtime, which limits the number of screenings per day.
