“Skyfall,” the latest James Bond outing, reached the milestone Sunday when its worldwide tally hit $1 billion, by far the best showing of any Bond pic, not accounting for inflation. Skyfall has grossed $289.6 million domestically and $710.6 million internationally, becoming the highest grossing film in Sony’s history and the first to jump $1 billion.
Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” stayed at No. 1 in its third weekend with $32.9 million, while Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained easily pulled ahead of Les Miserables to take the No. 2 spot at the domestic box office. Meanwhile Tom Cruise’s “Jack Reacher” has failed to meet expectations, indicating that Cruise’s star power has waned considerably.
