- SPECTRE, the Newest of the 007 Movies, Is About to Break the Box Office Record of the Series
James Bond, the most notable British spy, the quintessential British spy, has conquered Korea. Spectre, the 24th sequel of the 007 series, has marked the number one place in the booking chart as of November 11th, the day before its release, and anticipates being the biggest hit of the series.Spectre features Daniel Craig as the 6th James Bond, after Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan, etc. Known as the code name 007, James Bond encounters with a notorious syndicate “Spectre” and gets in trouble, when he was tracking down the secret of his own past.Spectre has marked a booking rate of 35.5% as of November 11th, foretelling a ground breaking change in the weekend box office. To be sure, it was already quite certain that it would be the best selling movie of this series, judging from the fact that Craig’s first James Bond film Casino Royale (2006) had 1,012,085 admissions, and Skyfall (2012) had 2,376,266 admissions. Spectre further attempted at the number one place in the entire Korean box office but was defeated by GANG Dong-won geared horror movie The Priests which attracted 1,089,371 viewers. Spectre had 828,639 admissions.Still, Spectre’s box office performance is impressive. It earned 1,185,182 accumulated viewers in just 5 days, surpassing Skyfall’s 5-day record of 1,066,476 admissions. Kingsman: The Secret Service made a big hit for a British spy movie, receiving 713,529 viewers in the first 5 days.So can Spectre go as far as defeating Kingsman: The Secret Service’s record, let alone being the best in the 007 series? Is the winner James Bond or Kingsman? You wonder what Korean audience’s manners are to be.
