Through a new set of calculations based on the box office success of the last two Bond movies Skyfall and Spectre and taking current restrictions around the world into account, MI6 HQ reckons No Time To Die will realistically only make around $481 million worldwide, with $530 million being at the more optimist end.

The Bond news site concluded: “There does not appear to be a path to the $700m-$800m global take that EON has adjusted their expectations toward.

“And if things continue as they stand today, No Time To Die could have the smallest box-office of the Daniel Craig era.”

In comparison, Casino Royale took $616.5 million at the global box office, while sequel Quantum of Solace made $589.6 million.
