Quantum of Solace has become the highest grossing 007 film in North America after overtaking Casino Royale‘s $167.1 million gross box office figure.
However, neither comes close to 1965’s Thunderball, on an impressive inflation adjusted $538.6 million, according to Boxofficemojo.com.
Worldwide it still has some catching up to do, taking $550 million so far, compared with $594.2 million for Casino Royale. However, the film is still playing and doesn’t yet include takings from Japan, where it opens this month.
