The latest James Bond installment ‘No Time To Die’ might not be doing as well as expected of it at the box office but is staying afloat. The film’s Chinese box office collections were $28.2 million in its debut over the weekend.
This comes after several provinces across China have prompted shutdown owing to a rise in COVID-19 cases currently.
