Find out why Daniel Craig resisted using an Android phone in Spectre

We all knew Spectre was going to open big at the box office.

The 24 James Bond film, which was directed by Sam Mendes, was given a five-star review by the Telegraph’s reviewer Robbie Collin.

The film’s £200m budget means that it is a few way off turning a profit, with one report suggesting the bill for cars written off during filming alone was £24m. Sony initially offered Craig $5 million to use the device in the film, but he refused, so Sony upped their offer to $18 million. Although the film has broken British records it is yet to be seen if it will have a global impact.

Unfortunately for Sony and Samsung, the two companies would miss the exposure since “Spectre” made its United Kingdom debut on Monday night two weeks ahead of its domestic opening on Thursday night, earning $6.4 million.

Broccoli’s EON Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, and Sony Pictures Entertainment announced today that “Spectre” has shattered box office records in almost every market in which it has been released, led by a historic performance in the UK. In Sweden, it has 24.95 million krone ($2.97 million USD), which is 30% higher than Skyfall’s opening.

Spectre is delivering big results for Imax, becoming the first title in history to cross $100,000 in terms of location average, or $105,000 from 47 theaters.

It’s interesting to note that “Skyfall” is the first Bond movie to cross the $1 billion mark so that means everyone is expecting “Spectre” to do the same.

According to leaked emails dating to October 2014, Daniel Craig resisted the use of an Xperia Z5 smartphone in the next James Bond movie.

Sam Mendes, who previously guided “Skyfall”, directs a cast that includes Christoph Waltz, Monica Belucci, Ben Whishaw and Léa Seydoux. We hope he does, as he makes a fantastic Bond, and clearly the James Bond hype is showing no signs of slowing down.
