The movie starring Daniel Craig as secret agent 007 took $9.2
million in its first full day in what Sony said was the biggest
Tuesday ever in movie-going history in Britain. The figure was
also bigger than the first-day U.K. gross for the last Bond
movie, "Skyfall," in 2012, the studio said in a statement.
"Skyfalll" went on to take in $1.1 billion at global box
offices, easily recouping its estimated $200 million budget.
"Spectre," which had its world premiere in London on Monday
night, has won good reviews from movie critics and is due to
open in North America and much of the rest of the world on Nov.
