Casino Royale Once Again Continues Success At International Box Office
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the international box office success for Casino Royale continued throughout the first February weekend.
Daniel Craig’s debut James Bond film took in an estimated $6 million from 1,780 screens in 44 markets, lifting its international total to $416.8 million ($582.8 million worldwide). It took the fourth place overall for the weekend.
Of that total, China contributed an estimated $4 million for the weekend ($6.9 million since its opening on 30 January) from 468 screens. Sony is expecting Casino Royale to set a new overall record for a non-Chinese film in the country.
The film’s international total of $416.8 million makes it the 22nd highest grossing film internationally of all time. It is expected to pass by Spider-man 2‘s international total of $417.9 million sometime this week (if not already).
