Did the 24th James Bond film perform to expectations? Story by Matt Cummings For the first time in over a month, the North American box office enjoyed a strong showing, as audiences flocked to see two new releases. Coming in at No. 1 was the James Bond film SPECTRE with $70.4m. While the the 24th entry in the series took the top spot, SPECTRE only matched the low end of expectations, opening around 20% below the $88.36m debut of 2012's Skyfall . It was also just 4% higher than the $67.53m of 2008's Quantum of Solace . Although Skyfall became the highest-grossing Bond film ever, its impressive numbers failed to help the newest (and perhaps last Daniel Craig adventure) to break-out. Part of that lay in the mixed critic's reviews in North America (enjoying only a 60% combined rating on Metacritic). It certainly appears that played a part in its tailing off as Sunday arrived. Still, SPECTRE enjoys a solid 'A-' rating on CinemaScore and should take t

Though Asif Kapadia’s Amy did an excellent job of chronicling the turbulent, talented and cruelly short life of Amy Winehouse , you knew someone would want to make a drama about her. A biopic is now in the works, and Noomi Rapace is looking likely to play Winehouse. August Rush director Kirsten Sheridan is looking to stick with music for what is currently known simply as Amy Winehouse, which she has written for Subotica Films and which is now out looking for financing and distribution deals. Also in negotiation? Those all-important music rights, which can make or break a biopic like this. There’s a chance that could be a tough hurdle as Winehouse’s father is also reportedly trying to get his own film about his daughter made. Rapace is at work on sci-fi thriller What Happened To Monday? and will be back in the Prometheus world for Ridley Scott’s Alien: Paradise Lost, which starts shooting early next year. In music biopic terms, she’s also attached to play Maria Callas in Niki
