It is the second Hollywood movie after Fast and Furious 9 to pull off something like this. The Bond movie is directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga. The budget for the movie is not more than a whopping $250 million. In terms of overseas sales it is just behind the F9: The Fast Saga but if we count total sales it is behind F9, Hi Mom, and The Battle at the Lake Changjin.

The critics have given glowing reviews of the movie and have been well appreciated by the audience too. The theme song is vocalized by Billie Eilish. The movie was set to release in the spring of 2020 but got delayed due to the pandemic. It was very well received by overseas audiences as it garnered $100 million on its first weekend itself. It has also done remarkably well in its home country, the United Kingdom. It has reached amazing feet but it is still unsure if it has been able to cover its costs and make a profit. The movie has had challenges along its way to make it a financial success which includes multiple delays, a hefty budget, and marketing costs.
