The marketing push for No Time To Die, the 25th James Bond 007 movie, has started to kick in with just 3 months to go before its November 12th release, a new poster on Tuesday and a new trailer today starts what will be one of the biggest campaigns for a Bond movie, Daniel Craigs last.

The trailer gets going after a predictable first minute with Bond throwing himself off yet another high structure, it then starts to show a little promise without giving too much of the movie away, and as is standard with Bond movies trailers these days it shows off plenty of stunt work and it looks incredible.

The story as we know it has a retired Bond being approached by old friend Felix Leiter, played once again by Jeffrey Wright, to rid the word of a mysterious villain known simply as Safin, played by Rami Malek.

Daniel Craig looks as dishevelled as Bond as ever, and in what looks like a promising move, maybe he's sharing the spotlight this time, as we know Lea Seydoux is returning as Madeleine Swann who Bond ended up with at the end of SPECTRE and she gets good screentime, also as we know Bond has retired in this movie and Lashana Lynch looks fantastic as Bonds replacement, and is she his equal?

After the movie got its release date movie due to the COVID-19 pandemic we don't have long to wait now until we get to see Daniel Craigs last ever outing as Bond, hankies at the ready.

Tom Cruise launches his latest vehicle this weekend in the US but it is no match for the mammoth Wonder Woman which spends a second weekend at the top.

Tom Cruise spent the early part of his career avoiding franchise films but since starring and producing the Mission:Impossible series of film he has become more seduced by the idea.

With Another Jack Reacher film released earlier this year and another Top Gun film promised Cruise here starts with The Mummy which promises to kick off a Dark Universe franchise.

The Mummy kicks off its US box office run with a number 2 debut and $32.2 million, really not the sort of business Universal were expecting, add to that bad reviews and Cruise may start worrying.

Wonder Woman holds onto the top spot this week with a $57.1 million second weekend, easily beating The Mummy, this brings the films total gross to $205 million.

Also new this week is It Comes At Night, $6 million and number 6 and Megan Leavey, new at 8 with $3.7 million.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 is this weeks longest running film with 6 weeks on the chart and the highest total grossing movie with $366 million.
