    Skyfall has the biggest Bond opening ever

    12 november 2012
    After four years off of the silver screen, James Bond made his triumphant return this weekend in skyfall and the British spy's appeal was bigger than ever.
    Returning Daniel Craig in the role of 007 for a third time, MGM and Sony's "Skyfall" nabbed the biggest domestic opening for a James Bond pic. 
    Skyfall's debut marks the seventh-best November opening weekend of all time - behind twoTwilight films and four Harry Potter titles - and the film, which Sony and MGM spent about $200 million to make, garnered an impressive $25,050 per theater average from 3,505 theaters. Skyfall's per theater average was even more impressive in IMAX locations, where the film found $13.1 million (15 percent of its weekend gross) from 320 screens, good for a $40,938 average.
