The Daniel Craig's final turn as James Bond in 'No Time To
Die' tops US box office with $55.5 million opening, knocking down 'Venom' to
second place, according to industry watcher Exhibitor Relations.
The United Artists film, the last to feature Daniel Craig as
007, sees Ian Fleming’s spy hero dragged out of retirement to face off against
old foes Blofeld, the criminal network SPECTRE and Safin, played by Rami Malek.
Last week’s leader “Venom: Let there Be Carnage,” was
knocked down to second place with a haul of $31.7 million, making a total of
$141 million for its first two weeks.
The Sony film stars Tom Hardy as investigative journalist
Eddie Brock whose symbiotic bond with an alien named Venom gives him
superpowers. Brock must stop serial killer Cletus Kasady, played by Woody
Harrelson, who has broken out of prison after merging with another alien.
Third place was held by “The Addams Family 2,” which brought
in $10.1 million. The animated feature by United Artists follows the iconically
creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky family as they go on vacation.
In fourth position was Disney’s blockbuster “Shang-Chi and
the Legend of the Ten Rings” which netted $4.3 million.
The film stars Chinese-Canadian actor Simu Liu, Disney’s
first Asian lead, as a former assassin in the shadow of an evil father (Hong
Kong legend Tony Leung).
Fifth place was held by “The Many Saints of Newark,” the
Warner Bros. prequel to cult television series “The Sopranos,” which took in
$1.4 million in its second week.
That was followed by comedy action movie ‘Free Guy’ starring
Ryan Reynolds.
Rounding out the top 10:
7 – “Dear Evan Hansen” ($1 million)
8 – “Lamb” (1 million)
9 – “Candyman” ($710,000)
10 – “Jungle Cruise” ($215,000).
