'SPECTRE' uniquely opened on a Monday in the United Kingdom, so its opening 'weekend' was actually a seven day period for the box-office, which in part explains its performance against 'Skyfall' which opened on a traditional Friday.
The figures below are collated from box-office reports from around the world. Not all countries report the opening weekend figures independently from the running bo-office total. Some figures are reported in millions, and these have been expanded to remain consistent with other data (for example, $2.5m = $2,500,000). An asterisk (*) denotes a box-office estimate.
