Quantum of Solace tops Casino Royale in North American box office

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.

David Leigh founded The James Bond Dossier in 2002. A fan of 007 since the age of 8, he is also author of The Complete Guide to the Drinks of James Bond. You can order a copy here if you don't own it already.
