Weekend Box Office Report: 'Spectre' Stays On Top

By Bill Wine

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Agent 007 doubled his hold on first place at the box office.

Spectre, the new James Bond thriller, made it two triumphant weekends in a row, earning an estimated $35-million on its second weekend of release.

But the runner-up for a second straight weekend closed the gap a bit. That would be The Peanuts Movie, which took in $24-million.

New attractions claimed two of the next three slots:

The holiday comedy, Love the Coopers, starring Diane Keaton and John Goodman, was third, earning a modest $8-million on its debut weekend.

The 33, the debuting survival biodrama with Antonio Banderas, totaled $6-million, good for fifth.

And rounding out the top five was the holdover sci-fi blockbuster, The Martian, which took in another $7-million, placing it fourth and bringing its cumulative total over the $200-million mark.
