'Spectre' Stealthily Takes the Box Office
Daniel Craig may be sending mixed signals about his readiness to play James Bond again in the future, but audiences clearly love him in the role: "Spectre," the latest in the 53-year-old Bond franchise, took in an estimated $73 million at the U.S. box office this weekend.
The film's opening makes it the second-highest Bond-film bow in the U.S., after "Skyfall" (2012).
"Spectre" is already sitting at nearly $300 million worldwide.
Also doing well at the box office was — good grief! — "The Peanuts Movie," the first in a proposed series of big-screen adaptations of the late Charles M. Schulz's cartoon creations. The family flick is projected to make approximately $45 million in the U.S this weekend.
Clearly, Lucy forgot to pull the football away for a change.

(1) "Spectre"
