Es wird geflüstert, dass Skyfall mit etwa £6,3 Mio. ($10,1 Mio.) den drittbesten Starttag aller Zeiten hinter HP7-2 (£9,5 Mio.) und T-BD1 (£6,4 Mio.) geschafft hat - und das im Gegensatz zu den höher platzierten Filmen ohne Mitternachtsvorstellungen. Bester 007-Starttag lag bislang bei Ein Quantum Trost (£4,96 Mio.), der dann am WE £15.384.217 einnahm (Casino Royale: £11.373.833).

Ja, im Nachbarland Luxemburg läuft der Film schon auf deutsch! ;)
