Box Office Top 10: ‘Spectre,’ ‘Peanuts Movie’ Kick Off November on a High Note

Spectre didn’t top Skyfall‘s opening weekend, but it did earn enough domestically over its first weekend in release to snag the #2 spot on the list of all-time Bond film opening weekends. Skyfall, the second film starring Daniel Craig as the iconic super-spy, is considered one of the best of the 24 Bond films. Spectre didn’t fare as well with critics, however audiences have awarded it an A- CinemaScore which means it could have decent legs in theaters and should remain toward the top of the box office chart until it butts heads with the final Hunger Games film, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2, on November 20th.

The animated The Peanuts Movie performed slightly better than expected over its first weekend in theaters. The family-friendly film targeted a different audience than Spectre, with 70% of its audience made up of families.
