“Spectre” starring Daniel Craig grossed a whooping 41.3 million pounds in the United Kingdom and 73 million dollars in the USA during its opening weeks and although Craig is reluctant in his interviews about doing another James Bond movie, Mirror confirmed the producers are confident that Craig will agree to one more film. Spectre takes its time more so than any other 007 film in recent memory, and it takes time to reflect on the franchise as a whole and nicely draws together Craig’s last three films.

In terms of domestic sales, “The Peanuts Movie” also placed second with $45 million; followed by “The Martian” with $9.3 million; “Goosebumps” with $7 million; and “Bridge of Spies” with $6.1 million.
Despite raking in an impressive $200 million globally in its opening weekend, Spectre hasn’t quite surpassed its predecessor Skyfall. “It feels like there’s a rightness to it, that I have finished a journey”, Mendes tells Deadline, sounding Spectre will be his last film.
The pivotal explosion scene is created by Academy Award victor Chris Corbould who is well known in film industry for his special effects job.
The blast used 68.47 tonnes (68470 kg) of TNT equivalent and was the result of detonating 8,418 litres of kerosene with 33 kg of powder explosives. The film opens with an intense parkour action scene as Bond chases an African bomb maker through a construction site.
Spectre was released just a few days ago but fans of the franchise are already throwing in names for the next James Bond. He did not confirm that he was done but rumors surfaced again after his latest comments.
