Bond Beats Batman to Become Biggest Box Office Hit

The latest James Bond instalment has become the biggest box office hit of the year and the highest grossing Bond film ever in the UK.

Despite having only been in the cinemas for a couple of weeks it has already taken in almost £60 million and is set to hit theatres in America this weekend.

Skyfall is Daniel Craig's third time playing the role of the famous spy.

Producer Barbara Broccoli told reporters: “We are thrilled and proud to reach this box office landmark in record time and are delighted that UK audiences continue to enjoy Skyfall.”

This not only means that it has beaten Casino Royale to become the most successful Bond flick but it has also taken the crown for the biggest film of this year from Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises.

No wonder he's not happy, Bond has just beaten Batman in the box office.

And that isn’t all the cast have been celebrating of late. Javier Bardem, who plays Raoul Silva in the latest Bond film, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The Oscar winner was joined by his co-stars Naomie Harris and Bérénice Marlohe to celebrate the occasion.

Not too bad eh Javier? Two lovely ladies and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Skyfall sees James Bond, played by Daniel Craig, battle against criminal mastermind Raoul Silva who is determined to bring down MI6 and M, played by Dame Judi Dench.
