"Skyfall" rewrites the Bond box office record books

There was only one story at the box office this weekend and it's name was Bond, James Bond. "Skyfall" smashed the previous opening weekend record for a 007 film by hauling in an estimated $87.8 million at the North Amerian box office. Add to that another $95 million it pulled in overseas during the weekend and Daniel Craig's 3rd run in Bond's shoes has already captured an estimated $518 million in global treasure. The film is poised to become the first Bond film to shatter the $600 million mark worldwide and with Japan and Australia still to open and a long run ahead in North America is probably looking at a final global take that's north of $750 million. Amazing and well deserved.
