SKYFALL has smashed the UK Box Office Record to become the biggest film of all time! 

EON Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios and Sony Pictures Entertainment are delighted to announce that SKYFALL has made history in the UK and become the highest grossing film of all time.

SKYFALL has now taken a staggering £94,277,612 at the UK box office in just 40 days on release, making box office hist

ory and overtaking the record previously held by Avatar which had a lifetime gross of £94,025, 632 million during 11 months on release in UK cinemas.

SKYFALL, the 23rd James Bond adventure, continuing the longest running and most successful franchise in film history, opened in 587 cinemas across the UK and Ireland on Friday 26th October, and is still on general release.

In response to this fantastic news, producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said “We’re overwhelmed with gratitude to the cinema-going audiences in the UK who have made SKYFALL the highest grossing film of all time. We are very proud of this film and thank everybody, especially Daniel Craig and Sam Mendes, who have contributed to its success.”

Somehow I´m not only delighted by that, I am thrilled that it pushed away AVATAR.

So, in the history of UK cinema, James Bond comes out on top. Bloody brilliant.

It vouches so much for the love and passion for James Bond, that is reminds us with 'Avatar', it hit £94m with an 11 month cinema span and 3D ticket sales.

 

'Skyfall' did it in 40 days with nothing but a genius piece of film-making and the love for 007 meaning more than gimmicks to sell tickets.

Despite what some of the snobs might say, James Bond has been a huge part of cinema history, and long may it continue!
