It is struggling to keep up with the other Daniel Craig Bond movies and could end up his lowest grossing, it certainly wont do as well as wither Skyfall or Spectre which took $304 Million and $200 Million respectively.
The sequel movie from the Sony side of the MCU has proved to be a far bigger hit than expected and this weekend falls to number 4 with a weekend gross of $4.4 Million on its 6th weekend, a slim 22% down.

North American top 5 box office breakdown 22nd - 24th October 2021
The movie got delayed by over a year, and after the failure of last years Tenet its wasn;t much of a suprise that Warner Bros. did, but this week the Denis Villeneuve vision of Frank Herbert classic sci-fi, impossible to film, book finally hits the box office.
The movie comes in with a weekend gross of just over $40 Million, potentially lower than expected as the movie is also available on HBO Max, altohugh as Halloween Kills has shown movies can do well as the box office even when on streaming the same day.
The film which stars Timothee Chalamet and Rebecca Ferguson might have a short stay at the top but the response has been god enough that a sequel is almost guaranteed.
Hitting the top spot last weekend the movie was always destined for a single weekend at the top and this week takes $14.5 Million on its second weekend of release, a large 71% drop over last weekend, maybe dur to its availability on streaming?
The movie has now taken $73.1 Million at the American box office, and although the movie might get a boost next weekend as its Halloween we should see the movie sink down the box office quite rapidly now.
Bond movie number 25 has not quite hit the same stride in America as it has across the rest of the world and this week takes $11.8 Million, a 50% drop over last weekend.
The movie has been on the box office for 3 weeks now and has a US total gros of $120 Million making it the 7th top movie of 2021.
The superhero villain smash hit sequel falls to number 4 this weekend with $9.1 Million, a modest 45% drop over last weekend.
This gives the movie a total gross of $181.8 Million, very good for a sequel and its running almost parellel with its predecessor, the movie is now the 3rd top movie of 2021.
The new animated movie from directors Sarah Smith, who brought us Arthur Christmas and Jean-Philippe Vine makes its debut at number 5 this week with $7.3 Million.
Spending a third weekend at the top of the UK box office this weekend the 25th Bond movie No TIme To Die which is doing good numbers across the globe and has taken nearly $500 Million globally.
