Wow, that just makes No Time to Die look even more impressive then. Man, after a rotten 2021, cinemas must've really been celebrating No Time to Die and No Way Home coming to save the box office.

The same result like Deadpool & Wolverine, which means he will make ~$20M opening only in UK. Insane result. $285-305M worldwide opening locked
