The latest James Bond flick, "Skyfall," was a record-breaker in any sense of the word. Ticket sales over the weekend topped $87 million in U.S. and Canada, easily a record for the franchise and a boon for theater owners. The last strong opening weekend was for "Quantum of Solace" in 2008, which drew $67.5 million in its opening weekend, making actor Daniel Craig, at least in terms of box office dollars-and-cents, the most popular Bond yet.
"Skyfall" reportedly cost around $200 million to produce and has garnered about $323 million overseas since its October 26th debut. One analyst sees the film hitting about $900 million in sales.
