SPECTRE, the 24th James Bond film, stayed the top movie at the North American box office in its second weekend with an estimated $34.5 million, according to Sony Pictures. That's a modest 50% drop from its debut last weekend. Its domestic total stands at $130.7 million.

Internationally, SPECTRE has already passed the half-billion mark. The Sam Mendes-directed film shattered records in China in its debut there this weekend, becoming the biggest opening weekend of all time for a 2D US film, the biggest opening three days of all time for any 2D US film, and the biggest Friday opening of all time for any 2D US film.

SPECTRE also toppled Jurassic World as the top movie in the UK for 2015.
