In UK, Skyfall had a great second weekend, where it added $25.7 million to its total gross ($85.8 million). It was down only 21%, and in a day or two, it will become the highest-grossing film of the year there.

Starring Daniel Craig, Ralph Fiennes, Javier Bardem, Judi Dench, Naomie Harris, Berenice Marlohe, Albert Finney and Ben Whishaw, Skyfall is set to hit theatres on November 9th in US, and on October 26th in the UK and Ireland.

The film, from Albert R. Broccoli's Eon Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, and Sony Pictures Entertainment, is directed by Academy Award® winner Sam Mendes and stars Daniel Craig, who returns for his third film as James Bond 007. The screenplay is written by Neal Purvis & Robert Wade and John Logan.

In SKYFALL, Bond's loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.

In India,it's broken the opening record of every other movie except TASM... Everybody's goin crazy abt this movie here...:)

Best string of back to back bond films ever, been twice and going a third time for sure. Extremely revealing and personal outing for Bond, thank Christ they continued to leave out the silly gadgets but still delivered a homage to those loopy films of the past.

Shame Daniel won't quit on three movies, he's looking very seasoned and leathery now. Philip Winchester who plays Michael Stonebridge in 'Strike Back' Would be a perfect replacement.

WARNING - Violent as Frak!

"Anyone who says otherwise is merely caught up in the NEW THING effect."

Ugh, I can't stand this kind of statements. Why can't someone (like me) genuinely prefer Skyfall? Because you say so? Are you so self-centered that you can't imagine people having different tastes than you?

PS: The Hobbit opens on my country 2 weeks after NZ, but I'm not going to be stupid enough to feel butt-hurt about it and experience it first at home with a crappy version on a computer instead of the movie theatre.

Cannot wait to see this movie! Love bond!

Cannot wait for Skyfall to open in the US, I have always loved the Bond movies. Craig is the best since Connery.
