While his opening weekend box office trailed behind Harry Potter in the UK - by £2m - James Bond’s latest movie defeated the boy wizard over the course of its first week.
Indeed Skyfall had the biggest seven-day haul in British box office history, taking a whopping £37.2m from 587 screens. The film is now on course to be the biggest -ver Bond in the UK.
In a statement, Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said “We are very grateful to the Bond fans and all UK cinema audiences for making Skyfall the biggest opening week ever during our 50th anniversary year."
Skyfall opens in the U.S. on November 9, so expect further Bond box office records to topple then.
