After the brilliant success of Skyfall , many people are sure that Specter must do better than its predecessor.
However, they were wrong. Specter was not highly appreciated by experts and did not achieve the expected revenue.
Although it opened with a revenue of 73 million USD in North America and ranked No. 1 in the box office revenue rankings in nearly 80 countries around the world, it will be a long time before Specter can come close.
with the huge amount of money that Skyfall has earned ( Skyfall 2012’s opening revenue was 88 million USD – the highest-grossing film in the James Bond series).
Some people think that Specter could have done more if not for another relatively serious competitor at this time – Peanuts Movie .
The appeal of this animated film to the audience has significantly affected Spectre’s revenue.
Invested with a huge budget of up to 250 million USD, more expensive than Skyfall , but experts say it will be difficult for the film to reach the 1 billion USD mark like its predecessor.
Up to this point, Specter has earned $300 million globally. Specter ‘s producers hope the film will be successful in several markets such as Korea, Japan, France, Australia and especially China.
China – which brought in $59.2 million in revenue for Skyfall – could be a differentiating factor.
In recent years, Hollywood blockbusters have often achieved impressive revenues in the country of “billion people” and Specter has every right to hope for a Chinese miracle to help the film reach the billion-dollar mark.
