James Bond and Charlie Brown’s gang re-energized the North American box office after a dismal few weekends. Spectre launched to $73 million from 3,972 theaters, the second-biggest opening for any film in the iconic spy franchise, and one of the top showings of the year to date. Still, some had expected the tentpole to approach $80 million domestically. Overseas, Spectre also dominated, grossing $117.8 million from 76 markets for a global weekend take of $190.8 million and early worldwide total of $300 million. It placed No. 1 everywhere.
The top 12 films of the weekend, as of Sunday, November 8, are as follows:
