Directed by Sam Mendes and marking Daniel Craig‘sthird turn as 007, the movie reached the milestone on Sunday when its worldwide tally hit $1 billion, by far the best showing of any Bond picture,
not accounting for inflation. Skyfall has grossed $289.6 million domestically and $710.6 million internationally, becoming the highest grossing film in Sony’s history and the first to jump $1billion.
Skyfall is the third movie of 2012 to cross $1 billion in worldwide ticket sales after Disney and Marvel’s The Avengers ($1.51 billion) and Warner Bros.’ The Dark Knight Rises ($1.08 billion).
“It is truly thrilling to reach this incredible milestone,” said MGM chairman-CEO Gary Barber.
Added Sony vice chairman Jeff Blake: “To see a film connect with audiences is always gratifying, but the success of this film is nothing short of extraordinary. After 50 years of entertaining audiences all over the world, Skyfall is the most successful James Bond film of all time.”
