New Bond breaks records - The Sydney Morning Herald - 6th November 2008

The new James Bond film Quantum of Solace, which opens in the US on November 14 and Australia on November 19, is already breaking international records.

Daniel Craig's second tour of James Bond duty made an estimated $US38.6 million ($A56.45 million) overseas in the weekend ending November 3, despite playing in only three markets.

According to media reports, Quantum of Solace made a whopping $US25.3 million ($A37.0 million) in the United Kingdom, easily breaking the three-day premiere record held by Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

In France, Quantum of Solace added another $US10.6 million ($A15.5 million) and in Sweden, the film's $US2.7 million ($A3.95 million) take was the fourth biggest launch ever.
