The latest Bond film isn't due out for another week in the U.S.; however, it's already poised to be a huge money earner.
"Skyfall" opened in the UK one week ago on October 26th, and it's been shattering records ever since:
- With $60 million in UK ticket sales, the 23rd Bond film holds the seven-day box-office record in the UK, passing the first week gross of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" ($57.4 million).
- Its $32.4 million opening weekend was the biggest box-office weekend of the year in the UK and the second-largest ever box-office weekend in the country. Overseas, the film took in a total of $77.7 million opening weekend.
- It's currently the third highest-grossing film of the year in the UK behind "The Dark Knight Rises" and "The Avengers."
It also helps the film has a strong 95 percent "fresh" rating on movie review site "Rotten Tomatoes."
Skyfall will hit theaters in the U.S. November 9.
