Box Office Weekend- SPECTRE Tops With Second Biggest Bond Opening!

Bond is a character that will live forever. The government is looking to “86” the “Double-O” spy program for something more modern – espionage dependent upon surveillance, phone taps and drones.

Spectre follows Bond and Madelaine Swan (Lea Seydoux) on a mission to take down the secretive organization “Spectre” that’s been behind countless global terrorist attacks. Daniel Craig has publicly declared that this is his last Bond film and there is huge speculation as to who will be the next 007.

The opening sequence in Mexico, set during the Day of the Dead (Dia de Muertos) celebrations, deserves particular mention. Mendes and Craig can’t decide whether they want it to be light throwback to classic Bond or continue its modern grittiness. Special effects create the air of intrigue that is so definitive of the genre. As well, Daniel Craig’s portrayal of 007 was spot on.

The Hollywood Reporter caught up with Wilson, who has had a hand in producing the Bond movies since 1979’s Moonraker. She plays a doctor, which is a refreshing take on the otherwise mildly pathetic role of women in these films.

User Luke Lindemeyer has edited together nearly all of the Bond opening scenes (minus Spectre given the video isn’t available yet) and it’s pretty spectacular. After more than five decades of Bond, that’s a hell of an achievement.

“Spectre” is an enjoyable film and a decent addition to the Bond franchise, but it is a flawed one with a story that tries to do too much and make too many connections to the previous installments.

The celebrity, that has travelled to Kerala and shot in Goa before, also discussed he likes to see Bollywood movies and believes they’re “fantastic”. “Again, a two-word answer is what springs to mind”.

Truly, there’s no better way to spackle over plot holes and inconsistencies of character than with the biggest explosion of all time.

Spectre’s numbers have fallen short of Skyfall but the film has made its way to the record books, not in the box office but for a huge explosion.
