Quantum of Solace Opens to $38.6M in Three Countries

James Bond returned with a record-setting opening at the international box office as Sony/MGM’s Quantum of Solace earned an impressive $38.6 million at 2,123 theaters in the U.K., France and Sweden, two weeks ahead of the domestic launch.

The British business for the film dazzled on Bond’s home turf with $25.3 million at 1,150, breaking the three-day launch record held by Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and taking in a jaw-dropping 70% of the market. The Daniel Craig vehicle also set a Friday record with $8 million, 23% higher than “Goblet.”

The $10.6 million French launch for “Solace” set a Bond film record over three days, topping the five-day mark of Casino Royale by 16%. And the $2.7 million Swedish debut was the fourth-biggest ever in that market after the final “Lord of the Rings” film, “Goblet” and the third “Pirates of the Caribbean.”
