Once Hollywood dreamed up the spectacle to open the film, and after millions had seen the movie, Mexico dreamed up its own celebration to match it. Mexico City resident Rocío Morán turned out to see the parade in skull makeup. “It became fashionable with the James Bond movie, and I think it's good because it brings economic activity to the city,” Morán said.
