#SPECTRE FILM SERIES#

Having developed a Bond in line with Fleming’s thrill-seeking burned-out case, SPECTRE is determined to have more fun with him. Though memories linger, Craig is here jauntier and lighter on his feet and sometimes might even be thinking about making those post-enemy’s-death quips that have been phased out on his watch.

In blowing up his childhood home and killing his twisted doppelganger Silva ( Javier Bardem), Craig’s version of the hero could purge these elements from his make-up, enabling the series to continue without Bond spiralling into the despair of Fleming’s last, amazingly dark novels. Skyfall then delved deeper into Bond’s past than any other film, and had him confront some of the issues responsible for traits of Fleming’s character (self-hating, alcoholic womanising and suicidal recklessness) which most film Bonds have done without. Four films – and one Olympic opening ceremony cameo – later, he shudders to find a VHS cassette of her interrogation in the abandoned office of Mr White ( Jesper Christensen), last survivor of the Quantum plot that wove through Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. With Craig, the series has not repeated that error: the loss of Vesper still haunts this version of Bond. The films didn’t quite get this arc right, making You Only Live Twice (1967) before On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969), so that Bond seemed to take vengeance before the outrage that made his crusade personal the series’ first change of lead actor also isolated the murder of Mrs Bond from the ongoing character arc. Fleming reworked this trauma in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service by having Bond fall in love again and get married, only for his arch-nemesis Blofeld to murder the bride just after the wedding. 'The Last Witch Hunter' ($2.Casino Royale, which went back to Fleming’s first novel for its plot and general air of ruthlessness, showed Bond on his way to becoming the emotionally numbed, super-competent gambler/detective-cum-assassin hero through a clash with his first significant villain, Le Chiffre ( Mads Mikkelsen, whose image pops up here along with other faces from the past), and the loss of Vesper Lynd ( Eva Green), the woman who touched then hardened the philanderer’s heart. Steven Spielberg's well-received Cold War drama 'Bridge of Spies' starring Tom Hanks was in fifth with $5.8 million.Ĩ. Stine, earned $6.8 million for fourth place. 'Goosebumps', the family-friendly action-comedy based on a series of books by R.L.

The movie has earned a whopping $197 million in the six weeks since its release. Third place went to 'The Martian' - $9 million in ticket sales - which has generated serious Oscar buzz for lead actor Matt Damon, who plays a NASA scientist accidentally left on the Red Planet. 'Spectre' faced stiff competition from computer animated 3D cartoon 'The Peanuts Movie' - the first big screen rendering in 35 years for the beloved comic characters - which sold $44.2 million in tickets to debut in second place, box office tracker Exhibitor Relations said. The previous instalment of the James Bonds series - 'Skyfall' - earned $88.4 million when it opened. Worldwide, the film has earned some $300 million, with industry experts saying it needs to make $650 million to break even. Sony had projected that the 24th film in the spy series - with Daniel Craig as the dashing secret agent, Italian beauty Monica Bellucci and Oscar-winning Austrian star Christoph Waltz as the villain - would earn $73 million.
