No Time To Die: The 25th and final James Bond movie crosses the $600 million mark

Daniel Craig's 25th James Bond movie, No Time To Die, has crossed the $600 million mark worldwide. The most-loved and embraced Bond movie was also the swan song for Craig as Bond.

The record is pretty huge, considering the film released during the ongoing COVID-19, and No Time To Die had a budget of $250 million. Even if you add the marketing and promotion costs, the film has reportedly even surpassed that. 

The movie, which was released in the last week of September, made Craig earn much praise for his performance. Many have hailed it as the best of his career so far too. Helmed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, the film portrays Bond retired from M16 and gets recruited by the CIA with a mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist. It is written by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, Fukunaga and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

The Fukunaga film has remained firm in its open markets and has bagged the sixth highest-grossing film of all time in the market, along with number one at the UK box office. By this, the movie has surpassed the classics like Titanic, starring Leonard Dicaprio and Kate Winslet and Star Wars: The Last Jedi, starring Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley. It is also interesting to note that it gained 1 million euros in the UK for the 30th consecutive day.

No Time To Die has made notable figures in other smaller markets too. It managed to draw $62 million in Germany, $26.1 million in France and $18.4 million in the Netherlands.
