The new James Bond film “Spectre” remained atop the North American box office revenue tally in its second week in theatres, bringing in $35.4 million, industry estimates showed Sunday.

The star-studded spy thriller — with Daniel Craig as the dashing secret agent, Italian beauty Monica Bellucci and Oscar-winning Austrian star Christoph Waltz as the villain — has taken in $130.7 million in its first two weeks. It was among the year’s most anticipated movies.

Its two-week total was $82.5 million.

The comedy “Love the Coopers” — about a four-generation Christmas Eve family party that turns wacky and finally touching — debuted in third place with $8.4 million.

Fourth place went to “The Martian,” which has generated serious Oscar buzz for lead actor Matt Damon, who plays a NASA scientist inadvertently left about the Red Planet.

“The Martian” solidified its blockbuster status with an estimated $6.7 million in weekend ticket sales, for a whopping $207.4 million in the seven weeks since its release

“The 33”, about 33 Chilean miners trapped 700 meters underground for 69 days in 2010, debuted in fifth spot having a take of $5.8 million. It stars Antonio Banderas and Juliette Binoche.
