"Skyfall" moves past "The Dark Knight Rises" at global box office

The feel-good story that is "Skyfall" just keeps on giving. Already at more than $300 million at the domestic box office and $1 billion at the global box office Bond 23 has now moved past last year's Batman blockbuster "The Dark Knight Rises" into 7th place on the all-time list and is zeroing in on $1.1 billion. What's even more remarkable is that Skyfall has done it the old-fashioned way; without the 3D ticket premium so pervasive today. That means in terms of attendance Sam Mendes' film rose past the Dark Knight several weeks ago, which is pretty unbelievable for a James Bond movie. Congratulations to everyone involved.
