BOX OFFICE: SKYFALL Passes SPIDER-MAN 3 To Become Sony's Highest-Grossing Film Ever

Amazing! Congrats to Skyfall! My favorite film of 2012 alongside Avengers!

Excellent work 007.

Great!!! Skyfall deseres it!

Well doesn't that speak volumes.

Spider-Man 3 didn't deserve to do better than the superior previous two.

MGM are now on suicude watch.

I hope Skyfall goes on to beat Titanic and Avatar

Amazing movie, deserves the 1 billion mark no question. One of my favorite movies this year behind TDKR and dredd and looper.

Very deceptive headline. Sony only has distributing rights to MGM movies, the production and ownership of Skyfall is an MGM, EON and Danjaq deal, just like most of the Bond films. Sony owns Columbia Pictures who make the Spider-man films so yes, that's their baby. But they have no production ownership in any percentage of stake whatsoever in the Bond franchise other than to distribute it for MGM around the world.

of course SKYFALL surpassed tdkr at the international box office, it's a better film !

I can not say the same about Ice Age: Continental Drift ($714 mil) which also passed tdkr ($632 mil) at the international box office

oh well, I ENJOYED Skyfall TREMENDOUSLY !!!

twilight ??

I've seen the first one and that was the end of it...

oh shit could this movie join the billion dollar club? whould kinda be cool, wouldn't it ^^

@LEVITIKUZ everyone involved in Spider-Man 3 walked out of Spider-Man 4 after Raimi left the project. Maguire, Dunst, etc, wanted to show their loyalty to Raimi, and didn't want to make more Spidey movies without him. Trying to continue a series (already weighed down with lots of continuity) with a completely new cast, is very difficult and would be likely to fail (since Spider-Man 3 was so poorly received by critics and audiences alike).

The other option for Sony was to reboot, with younger actors and focus on the things they felt they got wrong the first time around, specifically the high school stuff - the producers all said they wished they'd spent more time with Peter in high school, at least in the first film, as it was so big a part of the character's life in the comics, while they also had the chance to delve into Peter's past and explore his parents, bring Gwen in as his first love (and do the Death of Gwen Stacy storyline at some point), which they obviously couldn't do properly in the Raimi series.

They most likely would've made Spider-Man 4 if Raimi stayed, because then they'd have retained the original cast.

i forgot to say
Lawless too!

Great news!

Nice to see Skyfall, like TDKR not banking on [frick]ing 3D ticket sales

Im guessing there will be a sequel ;)

Saw it for the second time today... Even better than the first time... It deserves to be a member of the billion dollar club...

I'm so glad this deserved version of Bond is getting praised! I absolutely love it! The greatest unexpected success of the year! Please sign Craig for two more and don't foil to PC bullshit: Elba rules, but if it's not broke..., ya' dig?! "CHANGE!" Idiots!

*even if payed, find a dark corner and just do it.

It doesn't make you a pop culture participant; oh shit the stories I'd have to relay.., naw it truly shows character. Oh I'm sorry is there a few series of publications you're working on simultaneously? Right.
