Daniel Craig stars as James Bond in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures/Columbia Pictures/EON Productions’ action adventure SPECTRE.

The latest James Bond movie Spectre is breaking records at the British box office, Sony Pictures Entertainment said on Wednesday.

The movie starring Daniel Craig as secret agent 007 took $9.2 million (Dh33.7 million) in its first full day in what Sony said was the biggest Tuesday ever in movie-going history in Britain. The figure was also bigger than the first-day UK gross for the last Bond movie, Skyfall, in 2012, the studio said in a statement.

Skyfalll went on to take in $1.1 billion at global box offices, easily recouping its estimated $200 million budget.

Spectre, which had its world premiere in London on Monday night, has won good reviews from movie critics and is set for release in the UAE on November 6.
