To beat TDKR ist such a great, great achievement. I don't care so much about beating LOTR, because that is a whole different comcept. Knight is similar and that makes it so great.
And it was fast. Last time I looked it was at 34 or something. Must be China. But I doubt it will make another 42. But who knows? With this film everything is possible.
Thanks sundance.

The top notch acting in the Weisz/Craig/Spall 'Betrayal' is emotionally true, often v funny and its beautifully staged with filmic qualities..

Skyfall Draws Record Crowds In China
The James Bond movie Skyfall, which opened last Monday in China, took in $35 million during its first week, according to the website 21cn.com. It was a record for a 2D film, the website said, and was exceeded only by James Cameron's 3D Avatar, which opened in China with $46 million in its first week in 2010. With numerous scenes shot in Shanghai, the film has received positive notices from Chinese moviegoers. The state-owned website China.org.cn, quoted a 27-year-old media worker as saying, It is a rare thing for an international action movie to depict China in a fashionable way. But on a Twitter-like social media site called Sina Weibo, one blogger commented, It feels somewhat weird to see Bond in a Chinese setting. China.org.cn quoted Beijing filmmaker Chen Chuanlu as saying that the film shows that Hollywood has now broken the stereotype of [Chinese] being treacherous, backward and superstitious ... thanks to the growing importance of the domestic market and increasing understanding about the nation.

02 --> $161,778,224: UK
03 --> $084,945,572: Germany
04 --> $060,069,449: France
05 --> $049,882,229: Australia
06 --> $044,700,000: China

'Skyfall' closes in on $50m box-office in China
"Skyfall" will close in on a $50m USD box-office take in China this weekend, according to estimates.
As of Thursday, the film had scooped $44.7 million ($34.4 million in its first seven days).
007 has had little box-office competition in its Chinese release so far, but that is about to change as the Hollywood flick "Cloud Atlas" opens this weekend. The film tool $2.6m on its opening day of release in China.
Industry watchers claim that approximately 40 minutes were cut out of the epic for Chinese audiences, which puts the minor tweaks made to "Skyfall" in stark contrast.

So we will see a 800 mill internationally and a 1.1 billion at the BO.
You are used to those numbers by now, but they are incredible really. Then again - why not? Bond is as good as a Batman or whatever.

i cant believe im upset about CN underperforming
before the release I thought 700-800 mil overall would be a great if not impossible result
No weekend this week. All thearters will be closed on Saturday. And on Sunday Journey to the West (a chineese movie) will land here, CA and Skyfall will lose most of their screens.
ha too trueYou are used to those numbers by now, but they are incredible really.
