‘Skyfall’ Passes ‘Titanic’ as Top 2D Film at U.K. Box Office

"Skyfall" has taken in $117M in the U.K., a big part of its worldwide gross of $531M

"Skyfall" has passed "Titanic" as the highest-grossing 2D film ever in the U.K., distributor Sony reported Wednesday.

The 23rd film in the James Bond franchise has had a great U.K. run since opening Oct. 26. Including Tuesday's $3.3 million take, its overall gross in the U.K. stands at $117.8 million, bettering the $109 million "Titanic' ran up in 1979.

"Skyfall" has a ways to go to catch "Avatar," which is the highest-grossing film ever in the U.K. It rolled up $149 million in 2009, greatly aided by premium ticket pricing on its 3D runs.
