The 25th James Bond film, 'No Time to Die', opened in 4,407 theatres across North America this past Thursday, earning an impressive $23.3 million on its first two days.

The pickings were definitely less than 2015's 'Spectre' ($27.4 million) and 2012's 'Skyfall' (a franchise high $30.5 million), but Variety.com reported that NTTD is "expected to open at the top of the domestic box-office with a projected weekend haul of $60 million". According to the global entertainment industry trade guide, "the total indicates notable enthusiasm for the film, especially for a time where there remains some trepidation about going to movie theatres".
