James Bond is shaking things up at the international box office.
“No Time to Die,” the latest 007 adventure that doubles as Daniel Craig’s final outing as the suave British spy, kicked off overseas with a mighty $119 million from 54 foreign markets.
Universal Pictures, who is releasing the film internationally, notes that “No Time to Die” is the first Hollywood release in pandemic times to generate more than $100 million without China.
Even before “No Time to Die” touches down in China on Oct. 29, the long-running spy series is off to a strong start.
The film will open in another 15 international territories in the coming days, including France (Oct. 6), Russia (Oct. 7) and North America (Oct. 8).
