Bond Breaks Records

Casino Royale is expected to reign supreme this weekend in America. But in the UK, the people have already spoken and made the latest Bond film the biggest opener of any previous 007 film. According to Columbia Pictures, Daniel Craig's first outing sold £1.7m of tickets in the UK on Thursday - twice as much as the former record holder, 2002's Die Another Day. Maybe Harrod's window displays featuring Casino Royale memorabilia (specifically Daniel's swimtrunks) had something to do with it!
