Sony, MGM and Eon’s James Bond hit added $20.3m internationally to reach $656.6m, and a number one North American haul of $11m for $261.6m to overtake Sony’s previous best of $890m set by Spider-Man 3.

In our defence, our predictions were based on actual data, namely the performance of previous Bond movies, whereas "the Olympics and Adele and the 50th anniversary are gonna make Skyfall gross a billion dollars" sounds like something an over-enthusiastic PR person would post. As it turned out, the prediction based on wishful thinking turned out to be the correct one whereas the more empirically-based predictions turned out to be over-cautious. But we shouldn't feel too bad, SF's gross took even Box Office Mojo by surprise, and they track box office data for a living.
Fair enough. Even the over-enthusiastic Pro-Craigers on MI6 never saw this coming either, if that's any consolation.
