Skyfall brought in $87.8 million on Friday and Saturday, making it the highest-earning Bond debut of all-time, far ahead of Quantam of Solace ($67.5 million) and Casino Royale ($40.8 million.)

 

"It’s quite a testament to Bond, considering it’s the 50th anniversary. What a great anniversary present," Rory Bruer, head of distribution at Sony, which produces the Bond films along with MGM, said of Skyfall‘s early success.

Here is a look at the top five from the weekend:

  1. Skyfall: $87.8 million
  2. Wreck-It Ralph: $33 million
  3. Flight: $15.1 million
  4. Argo: $6.7 million
  5. Taken 2: $4 million
