Permis de tuer
"Licence to Kill" premiered at the Odeon Leicester Square in London on , raising £200,000 (£ in pounds) for The Prince's Trust on the night. The film grossed a total of £7.5 million (£ million in pounds) in the United Kingdom, making it the seventh-most successful film of the year, despite the 15 certificate which cut down audience numbers. Worldwide numbers were also positive, with $156 million, making it the twelfth biggest box-office draw of the year. The US cinema returns were $34.6 million, making "Licence to Kill" the least financially successful James Bond film in the US, when accounting for inflation. A factor suggested for the poor takings was fierce competition at the cinema, with "Licence to Kill" released alongside "Lethal Weapon 2", "Ghostbusters II", "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" (starring former Bond Sean Connery), and "Batman".
