Casino Royale<\/a><\/i> may have dropped out of the North American top ten this past weekend, but Variety<\/a><\/i> reports that it\u2019s still doing boffo business overseas, enough so that it even set a new record:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCasino Royale\u201d has shot past the worldwide record for a James Bond movie, thanks mostly to strong international performance over the Christmas holiday weekend.<\/p>\n

Sony\u2019s \u201cCasino\u201d cashed in overseas with $14.5 million at 6,300 during the weekend through Sunday, lifting the foreign total to $304.4 million \u2014 the 41st biggest international gross of all time. It\u2019s only the fourth 2006 pic to clear $300 million, joining \u201cPirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man\u2019s Chest<\/a>,\u201d \u201cThe Da Vinci Code<\/a>\u201d and \u201cIce Age: The Meltdown<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

With domestic gross near $144 million, \u201cCasino\u201d has a worldwide total of $448 million \u2014 $17 million better than \u201cDie Another Day<\/a>,\u201d the previous best Bond performer. . . .<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Casino Royale<\/i> is still about $17 million behind<\/a> Die Another Day<\/i> in North America, but who knows, it might break that record too. Certainly we Canadians are doing our part to boost the North American totals \u2014 the film is still at #4<\/a> here.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
