Box Office Mojo reports that Casino Royale has maintained the #1 spot at the foreign box office for the fourth straight weekend.
Taking in $35.5 million from 64 territories brought the international total for Daniel Craig’s first James Bond film up to $246.5 million. Contributing to this total were openings in 10 new markets, where Casino Royale set franchise records in every single one.
